Media Coverage of RNC

[Warren 4 Secretary of Everything]

I took the liberty of looking at Convention Coverage of the 3 Cable News Stations. And there was bad news for the Romney Campaign.
Apparently Fox News is doing full Hurricane Isaac Coverage at the moment.
Half of CNN's screen has tracking of Hurricane Isaac.
And MSNBC is forgetting Isaac and just ripping apart all of the RNC speeches.
Funny

well there is another side, in that there are some people tuning in for Hurricane coverage and getting exposed to the RNC and their message.

You must be watching a different CNN than the rest of us. It's at worst a 80 20 split rnc / hurricane (timewise). The last hour has shown about 5 minutes of hurricane coverage.  When they have cut to Cooper it's been after the rain has passed and it looks vey mild.

And what do you expect from MSNBC. Big republican audience there.

PBS has the RNC. I just can't believe I'm watching this garbage.

This is even worse than the 1992 convention.

[Joe Biden 2020]

C-SPAN is doing gavel-to-gavel coverage with no media interruption.

PBS has the RNC.

Exactly.  Why pay for cable when PBS is doing three hours of straight coverage not including the one hour news broadcast prior which was pretty much mostly RNC stuff.  That's almost four hours every night for free.

Newt was on earlier...

C-SPAN FTW

[Joe Biden 2020]

I watched CNN right up through Gov. Christie's speech and then I turned over to CNN.

  Seriously, why does MSNBC cover the republican convention. The commentators all look miserable and unhappy up there. Matthews Maddow Sharpton Hayes and Schultz looked genuinely bummed out and grumpy during commentary. It was kinda fun to watch. Hannity may be partisan during the democratic conveiontion, but the majority of Fox - Baire, Wallace, Shepard- are pretty nonpartison and will actually provide decent commentary during the democratic convention.

Saying Fox is nonpartisan is laughable!

Obama better have a good response to whatever happens.  It will also help his own convention speech next Thursday.
