I thought Fox was airing it. They are not.

I don't love the transition away from polished video to face cams, but this is important stuff they're showing.

Well I don't hear a legion of Bernie Bros howling like hyenas in the background, so it's already better than 2016.

MSNBC is airing the intro while ABC has David Muir still yapping away. I wonder why. I’m also pretty stoned so I can’t really figure anything out right now.

So far so good — this “regular joe” facecam stuff is fairly unpolished and a little maudlin, but I can see it working with a lot of folks.

It will be interesting to contrast this with the Republican Convention. Will they incorporate regular people talking about their situations or just have their politicians and personalities spouting rhetoric and attacks?

Gwen Moore lighting it up, and I like that she's got a podium and stuff.

That's Springsteen, and it's folk rock. Blue collar south Jersey music. Don't insult it.

If you're talking about the song that just ended, that's a Bruce Springsteen song about rebuilding in the aftermath of 9/11. Seems pretty perfect to me.

Hard to imagine Biden not getting at least a small polling bump from this. It’s already way better than last cycle’s convention.

If DC becomes a state will she be called the governor?

The Mayor of DC didn't impress in my view, but George Floyd's family certainly did.

Is there a way to watch it online without the audio being totally disconnected from the video?
