That's because we have better speakers.
The cable news networks were horrible last night. I ended up watching CSpan thru the whole convention. Too many talking bobble heads chattering like chickens and too many commercials.
DUH! Guilliani's speech ran longer than anticipated. Should they have cut him off? This is just plain stupid. FNC aired all the major speeches at the DNC and they're going to air the major speeches at the RNC, regardless of how much time each individual speaker takes.
Consider the source. This is from David Brock's group.
Okay fair enough. But what about all the rest of the media? Hmmm? How even and fair was their coverage?
Are such time-allotmnet conparisons done for the 3 major networks? How about positive vs. negative editorializing by their anchors?
Rudy went over.
These people are ludicrous. The major broadcast networks refused to carry the first night because they were literally afraid for the public to see McCain and Guilliani speak. These biased networks are trying to shape politics, not provide the service they should be providing. But...the "monitors' will miss this fact.
Fox should not be intimidated by these crybabies. I hope they will continue to broadcast these speeches in their entirety and not let the liberal monitors tell them what they can show us! This is STILL America. And it will continue to be America until the liberals in this country sell us out to the "Commies".
Dear US Newswire: Cry me a river.

Do ya'll hear something? I'm getting this buzzing in my ear.
Ok, someone correct me if I remember this wrong--but during the 'Rat convention, the "big three" networks devoted 2 hours per night to the 'Rat convention, for four nights. This convention gets 1 hour per night for three nights. Someone let me know if this isn't the way it happened--but if it is, should they be opening that particular door?
I noticed a big difference in spirit between the two conventions. The RATs were rather lame, no excitement. Even the balloon drop was a disaster. But last night, nothing but electricity in the air at Madison Square Garden. Amazing that none of the MSM have commented on it. Cover of the New Yorker today is funny, herd of terrified elephants coming over the bridge to Manhatten. More accurately, they should have been trumpeting wildly, stomping to victory. But we can't have that. No, we'll get nothing but spin for Kerry from the MSM until Nov. 3.
I am interested in seeing Media Matters' analysis of the ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, and other channels during the DNC convention. If they can't do it for all channels and both conventions, then what is the point?
I'd say that's probably because Giuliani's (and others) speech was 33 minutes longer than the Dem speech. What were they supposed to do, cut off in mid speech saying that's all the time available? This press release is a lie.
I can only venture that the liberals believe, in a time of war, they can whine their way to victory in November.
The MSM was going to cover one hour a night for three of the four nights. For the DNC, they chose Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. For the RNC, they chose Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Therefore, already, any coverage of the RNC will be more than was covered for the DNC on the first day.
Do I have my days right?

This is an outrage. Swift Boat Vets, purple heart band aids, now unbalanced coverage by Fox. I bet Kerry calls for a "do over".
So will they be doing the same with the alphabet networks, CNN, MSNBC and so forth?
Maybe when pigs fly.
And how much time did the broadcast networks give the GOP on the first night? More or less than the democrats? They didn't even bother covering it. One night in and the mainstream media already has their panties in a bunch. It seems to me Fox seen a opportunity to gain more viewers since the broadcast networks were not covering it. My guess is that Fox would have shown less if ABC, CBS and NBC would have covered the first night like they did the democrats.
