No Network Coverage For RNC Night #1
The major networks are not covering tonight's RNC opening. Someone help me out here. Did they cover the opening of the DNC? I can't recall. If so, I'm yelling media bias. Rudy's speaking tonight. Should be good. I guess I'll have to watch it on Fox News.

The major networks most definitely did not cover the second night. I know because I watched Obama's speech on PBS, while NBC, ABC, and CBS showed their nightly hoopla.
Yes, the night with Obama was not carried on the networks.
They have to present Cheney and Bush, and then it comes down to Guiliani or McCain vs. Schwarzenegger. Of course Arnold is going to get it.
RatherBiased made a good point about the networks: the only night the Democrats were skipped was the night they put their most liberal speakers like Obama, Dean and Kennedy. But they do the opposite with teh Republicans when they're featuring McCain and Guliani

So how come C-Span had wall-to-wall DNC when it was on in Boston and now they are showing archive footage from 1980???
The Republicans surely had to realize that given a choice between McCain/Giuliani and Arnold, McCain/Giuliani would be the night left out by the networks. McCain should have been the keynote speaker, and Giuliani should be the one introducing Bush on Thursday. Maybe they were scared that Rudy would overshadow Bush.
Obama is one of the most liberal Democrats? Could've fooled me. Surprising that many Illinois Republicans seem likely to vote for such a liberal fellow...
I gotta go with the last guy on that one. Even I like Obama.
I think one CSPAN channel was showing historical convention footage, while the other channel was showing the live stuff.
I'm with the others. I think the two conventions are getting the same coverage from the same networks. Just a little more obvious when the first night doesn't get covered vs. the second night.
