Why Is MSNBC Doing So Much Talking About The RNC Convention?.....

I keep flipping back to them to see if I can get updates on Isaac. Everytime I flip back all they are talking about is the convention. I've seen more of Ann and Christie this a.m. then I did last night when they actually gave their speeches. Seems like they are giving the Repugs too much air time on the convention this a.m.

This week is two superbowls...the RNC for MSNBC which main "format" is politics and the Weather Channel for weather.

that wouldn't bring up questions regarding the hypocritical and usually bad behavior of the party members.

Continue selling cans of bs to any one who'll buy it without questioning any of it or have no way of questioning it.

not a news channel.

Though I have seen plenty of updates just this hour on Isaac too.

I know the levy at Lake Potchetrain is holding, but houses are indeed under water and rescues have already occurred.

where they were showing Tamron Hall trying to keep from blowing over and washing down the streets of New Orleans.

Since NBC Universal bought The Weather Channel, they have been intermittently showing those meteorologists (including Mike Seidel) all over the area.

is having pretty in depth coverage of it. In 2 hrs of watching they only talked about the RNC once or twice.
Issac is causing problems. They are having to do rescues..
My thoughts are with them all!!
