2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumDon't watch the mainstream media for the convention
C-Span or livestreams. The networks are shilling to cause drama and disunity around our candidate. They want it to be "close" for better ratings, and they know damn well Trump can't beat Hillary in a fair race.

Comentators tend to forget that THEY are NOT the story - what's going on at the convention floor is the story.

It was actually joyous and hopeful! I was getting totally stressed out watching network coverage.

Do we really need network commentators to tell us how to think?

No bloviating shitheads or prepackaged agendas. You can also re-watch the whole thing.
