Show a little conservative compassion for them; it can't be easy waking up from at least a thirty-year coma.
Likely scenarios include raw feeds from the floors and various levels of analysis from political experts that viewers can select themselves.
Can you imagine it? ABC, for one, might give us Bozo filters for their coverage. That'll really attract viewers, think of all that empty time. I don't suppose it would ever occur to them that maybe they ought to get rid of their Bozos and we wouldn't need the filter.....
Having Chrissy Matthews throwing Michelle Malkin off his show did NBC no good.
They've underestimated their audience. Now they've screwed themselves.
They learned nothing from this. Their propaganda machine is not working as planned but it is not broken, it will be back!
**"I'm not sure what lesson we've learned from this convention,"**
They just don't get it, do they?
Ad an instant Consumer BS button to every remote device...Results would automatically register and display on the TV crawl.
You know...
The late Roone Arledge rose to fame at ABC sports for his 'patented' coverage pattern that always involved massive amounts of graphics. It's why, even to this day, soccer matches they broadcast are all but unwatchabe because you keep losing the action behind those huge supers.
Shortly after Roone took over the News operation, their broadcasts were similarly afflicted. So, it's just totally typical of their thought patterns that the first thing they'd think about was new technology as the solution.
The problem's called "content" Paul, "content". For some strange reason, Republicans didn't want to watch Peter Jennings taking cheap shots at their party and their candidate for four days. Go figure!
Gee... you suppose this might be why the gross audience numbers for their news has gone in the dumper over the last few years? No.... can't be.... gotta be the graphics.
Amazing, how a Lib will buckle when faced with someone who won't let them screech their way through a "debate".
I want William F. Buckley Net, but he's retired now. I guess National Review on the air might be good, sort of a 24 hour coming and going thing from their offices would be nice!
But we've got Free Republic! We've got feedback! I admit I'm addicted to interactive news.
In spite of the fact that the FCC has never fulfilled its duty to enforce the "public trust" obligations of the networks, has never imposed much more than a mild slap on the wrist, the networks will continue to die and there is nothing they can do about it. They will die because they will never become anything other than what they have been for decades: leftist propagandists for the democratic party, implacably opposed to America's national interests and core values. American viewers, in steadily increasing numbers, are becoming tired of the networks' lies and insults to the intelligence.
He really doesn't, he's the media equivalent of a dinosaur that doesn't understand that his era is over. He can't change, can't compete, and he's too dumb to know what happened.
Why would a cobservative, republican or even an independant want to watch the MSM spin EVERYTHING about the GOP convention for the Rats? MSM does NOTHING but SPIN SPIN SPIN for the democrats, stop the SPIN and maybe I and other will tune back in.
In 2008.....Well that certainly is a relief.
Be a real shame if they tried to do it any sooner. They should just take their time, bring in some young eager anchors like Walter Cronkite or Helen Thomas.
You know, really spice it up.
That would make Fox squirm.
Oh, I think they get it alright, they just won't admit it.
Chrissy couldn't handle Zell's brand of Hardball. I'm sure Chrissy woke up the next morning with a 3 alarm throbbing headache from the over-the-plate knuckleball called "The Truth" hit him right betwixt his beady elitist eyes.
