Bad behavior
"Instead of simply showing what was happening at the podium - that's what the invaluably restrained C-SPAN is for - the news networks have elected to duck in and out of the proceedings in favor of their own anchor people and parrying partisans spouting rhetoric every bit as dully predictable as the official party lines under the guise of analysis." - Phil Rosenthal, Sun-Times.
"While the all-news cable networks decided to spend more time 'covering' the convention, most of it was spent trashing the Dems, repeating Republican soundbites, and talking over the speeches with fatuous, biased punditry. Who has time to discuss the Democrats' new policy ideas or how they plan to move the nation forward when their five minutes on CNN is spent rebutting GOP-sponsored lies and talking points dutifully regurgitated by Wolf Blitzer!" - from a BuzzFlash editorial.
