MSM Members Pan DNC: ‘Feels Like One Long Ad on YouTube,’ ‘Please Talk Me Off the Ledge,’ ‘Unwatchable’

Members of the mainstream media panned the virtual Democratic National Convention (DNC) on Monday for its similarity to a long infomercial and its boring and out-of-date feel.

Philip Lewis, front page editor for the left-wing Huffington Post, perhaps summarized it best in his tweet: “The DNC so far feels like one long ad on YouTube you’d usually skip.

Charles M. Blow, a New York Times columnist, tweeted, “This is a good effort by the DNC, but you can already tell that a virtual convention is going to be tough.” There are three additional days of the DNC.

Author Matt Stoller mocked the convention for its dated feel: “This convention so far makes me think the Democrats are the party ready to lead America into the ’80s.”

Feel the panic starting to set in?........................

[babble-on]

I’d imagine the “convention bounce” will be rather muted this year....

It’s like Dorothy after peeking behind the curtain...

Dead Cat Bounce....................

Democrats are the party ready to lead America into the ’80s.

ROFLMAO !!!!

[V_TWIN]

If they’re sayin’ this in public I can only imagine what’s being said in private.

I hear the suicide hotline is hiring.

[ClearCase_guy]

I’m confident that the Republican Convention will be a much more successful affair.

Perhaps even the MSM will have to admit it.

Have you seen the closing “musical” number? ‘80s is right!

This convention so far makes me think the Democrats are the party ready to lead America into the ’80s.”

I'm ready for a Carter beating.

And a Mondale stomp.

American People: “We love those Marriott and YouTube ads. Watch them over and over. We love the Dems, too and we can hardly wait to vote.”

(DNC version of reality, subject to change by intrusion of facts.)

‘80s? This guy is being way too optimistic. Just wait until Joe makes his acceptance speech. He’ll throw in things like “malarkey”, “23 skidoo”, and “the cat’s pajamas.”

So it will actually feel more like the 1920s.

The best was Michael Obama whining about “kids in cages”...I guess he forgot his husband Obama was the guy who put kids in cages. I wonder if that occurred to any of his block head followers.

If Trump takes California, the Dem party is over.....................

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

A Mondale stomp would be the biggest F U ever to a political party and I really really hope that happens.

Democrats are the party ready to lead America into the ’80s. ROFLMAO !!!!

Madonna, Michael Jackson, David Bowie,Hall & Oates, Aeorosmith.... Here they come. We're ready with our MTV thanks to cable television being invented. Go for it.

Best BOL of a good morning!

Fwiw, I sat through the whole 2 hours & thereafter wondered WHY I had wasted my time. = BORING/”canned” speeches aptly describes it.

What would they call a negative impact?

[Buckeye McFrog]

Trump is NOT going to take California unfortunately.

I suspect however that he’ll put a big enough dent into the popular vote there to end any more Dem whining that they got SCROOOOOOOD by the Electoral College.

Agree.

Remember, the Dems actually liked nominating Dukakis and Mondale (and McGovern). And they were serious.
