Is it my imagination or do 90% of the camera shots of the
convention attendees land on black faces? If not, what gives?

4. From what I learned from listening to Air America (XM 167),
each major news service takes turn being in charge of covering the conventions. The others get their feed from that one. This time it was Fox, and with all too predictable results. They apparently did their level best to take the steam out of what looks to be an ELECTRIFYING convention.

I'm totally TV-free, and get all my coverage from the internet, and am thereby relatively immune to such tactics. So I can only guess at the extent to which that's done, and how effective it actually was.

So WHO will be covering the Reptilican National Convention next week? It'll probably be better, but only marginally.
