"Kerry's speech got hardly any mention."
I have 2 Tivos (each can record 2 channels at one time) and had them set for all 3 network morning shows. These are my notes about those shows, the stuff I dubbed off onto videotape. I kept more of GMA than the other two. There was more coverage on CBSES and Today than I dubbed.
========
Morning-after convention stuff (July 30, 2004)
(all 3 show the red meat part of Kerry's speech - "...I will appoint an Attorney General who WILL uphold the Constitution of the United States)
= CBS Early Show (Hannah Storm talks to Craig Crawford, disgusting "analysis") = Today (Katie Couric talks to Tim Russert, Gov. Richardson, Kerry & Edwards before they leave on trip)
= Good Morning America (July 30, 2004) - Morning-after Kerry speech coverage (other two channels on 2004 DNC4 tape) - (very good Charlie Gibson overview, mentions the balloons screwup with CNN producer's words ) - Diane Sawyer web chats with people who saw the speech - commentary with George Stephanopolous - Bitch Matalan spouting lies - bit from David Letterman (Bush will share convention stage with drinking buddies) - Vanessa Kerry's hamster story (wasn't shown on the network the night before) - bit from Kerry/Edwards send-off (Kerry "they had better intelligence back then...") - Clair Shipman on Bush camp reaction
=============
Except for Craig Crawford's bullshit "analysis" (he was sneeringly smug and stupid) and Hannah Storm's bullshit existance, I was happy with the coverage. The "red meat" quotes were front and center, even on CBS.
