So... 7 million people saw the convention on FNC/MSNBC/CNN.

That means 287 million people in the US did not.

How does it compare to the Dem convention on the first night?

Not necessarily that cut and dry, but over all you are correct the LSM ignores us.

Well what about PBS, C-SPAN, etc.?? Anybody have the #s on them?? Are ratings ever even measured on those two?? Because the only way someone w/out cable would watch the convention last night would be on PBS.

And CNN is heavily advertising their coverage on all the conservative talk shows here in Central Florida. Kinda makes you shake your head but still thank them for keeping Rush, Sean, & co. on the air! Meanwhile, let me know when pigs fly and maybe I'll tune in.

Same here in Connecticut. I've heard that CNN-Republican Convention commerical over and over again during Rush and I think also during Sean Hannity's show on a different AM station.

I laugh every time I hear it... I'd never dream of tuning into CNN for the Republican convention. In this household (for convention coverage), it's: 1. Fox News, 2. CSPAN, and 3. MSNBC.

The old media is disgracing itself as never, ever before in trying to shine up John Forbes Kerry and claim he's a diamond.

I heard the first night of the Dem. convention was not broadcast on ABC, NBC and CBS. Is that not true?

Yes, just like Tuesday was a blackout at the Dem convention.

Tonight, tomorrow, and Thursday will be shown.
