I have a clear memory of a year when all the networks covered the full three days of the Dems nominating convention. When the Republicans had their convention a few weeks later, the networks said that they had changed their minds about coverage and covered only a few hours of the final day.
. It would not surprise me at all if the networks, even CNN andMSNBC , show far less of the defense. Even when they do cover it,they know how to go to a commercial when something very damaging to Dems is being said.
