1. I saw that last night (can't find link) a very different pespective
Edited on Thu Jan-29-04 08:25 AM by underpants
Mics on the ground show (let you hear) that the screm was not even audible in the roar of the crowd. Diane Sawyer did the report and they used several tapes from camcorders help by those in attendance. The mic Dean had filters out crowd noise so what we heard and heard was not an accurate protrayal of what happened.

All the networks but NBC acknowledged that they overshowed it, Fox took credit for keeping the Dean campaign alive.

3. it was an ABC story last night on network news
they showed a "camcorder version" vs. the handheld mic plugged directly to TV....the difference was astounding becuase the screaming was so loud by the audience..Dean raised his voice to be heard...

When he talked louder and yelled...it came over as the only voice on TV ...which was "not the case" and misrepresented because of the mic set-up.

But they ran it over 600+ times pianting Dean as "evil etc..."

Sickening...

5. While ABC opined that the "bad" version of the Dean Scream was aired
about 700 times, they made no offer to run their on-the-floor-mic-Dean's-scream-was-drowned-out-by-the-crowd-unedited-footage more than once. And I'm surprised that they didn't feel obliged to run the story until AFTER the NH primary was decided.

I wonder why?
