Did CNN and MSNBC cover this much of the DNC Convention?
I had turned to C-Span during the DNC because they talked through everything.

2. No....
I don't think they did. They even showed the colors and the guy singing the National Anthem tonight on MSNBC. Either they are bored with nothing to talk about except Palin or enraptured. Who can tell?

10. wrong. We all had to go to C-span to watch the coverage because all the talking
heads were yapping it up about their fake "unity" problem they were trying to push

6. They did NOT show much of the DNC at all. They are giving the RNC way more time
the MSM devoted most of their time to drumming up and inflating the "division" in our party and looking for anyone who would say they were a PUMA. Why are they not looking for repukes at the RNC who don't like Palin?? I refuse to believe that EVERYONE there thinks she's the best choice. It's a media blackout as far as I"m concerned. Especially the Conservative News Network. barf!!

7. I was just going to ask that. I didn't watch CNN during the DNC,
but it seems like they are showing every damn video the Repubs made.

8. They have to match the amount of applause they showed for the DNC convention
so this is going to be on repeat for the next 4 months

9. Not only did they show little of the Dem convention,
but they spent most of their time letting the Repugs on the air spouting their spin. Do the Dems have a war room in St. Paul like the Reps did in Denver? I bet not.

13. If they had one like the Repugs did
the head honchos in the party would be all over tv rebutting every talking point the minute it came out of the convention speakers and spinners. In fact, the Repug 'War Room' was in a separate building and shown very often on tv. It was not a secret.

15. yeah right...
you really think they would get air time? I can't believe that people still expect the media to play fair. It boggles the mind that an organization that lied a country into war is still held in such high regard.

12. I was wondering the same thing--Where are the Dem pundits??
They had nothing but republican talking heads all week in Denver.
