POLITICAL CONVENTIONS ARE NEWS.

POLITICAL CONVENTIONS ARE NEWS. At the beginning of the year, I expressed my frustration here with the refusal of the networks to show the political conventions directly. I have resolved to post only once on the subject during the conventions, and this is the post. This article describes how the major networks did not give Nancy Pelosi’s speech any significant air time. When the Speaker of the House gives an address at a convention that is held every four years, giving arguments for her candidate, that is news. Chatting among journalists is not news.
