Here is what Scheming Daemons wrote:

The problem with continually telling people, "C-SPAN!"

That's fine. For us hardcore political junkies. But the "low information voters", if they're watching at all, are watching CNN, Fox, or MSNBC. So it is important when they don't show John Kerry speaking. It is something that matters. The MSM is the window in which the overwhelming majority of American voters will view this convention through. So we need to know, and be in a position to counter, the punditry spin.

We need to know how this is being seen through the filter of the MSM. Because... like it or not, the voters we need to reach are going to ONLY see things through that filter. All of us here in DU will see ALL the speeches, unfiltered. We know how to do that. But the solution is not to shout out "CSPAN!" to all of us that know that already... the solution is to write emails and make phone calls to the MSM to demand proper coverage. And we can only demand proper coverage if we know what kind of coverage we're getting.
