MSNBC could not break away from tweety bloviating to show Martin O'Malley?

Creeps. Fortunately, I was on CNN, or I wouldn't have even known he was speaking. They sure have time for Trump though.

For the convention activities, I watch only CSPAN from gavel to gavel.

Jesse Jackson spoke about 6:15 and I didn't see any thread about it so I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't bother breaking away for even that.

and he even coined a new rallying chant for Hillary. "It's healin' time. It's hope time. It's Hillary's time."

Hope they get a video up somewhere so it can be posted.

It works for sports.

I hate sports events where they interview the manager or coach instead of showing the action. (Admittedly in baseball, the only way to ensure action is to cut away for an interview.)
