Local news channel, national news segment

Normally we watch the local news and leave it on the same channel to watch the nation coverage. Lately with the conventions I have been swapping channels. We don't change to cnn, msnbc, etc normally. I am pretty sure that is what a large portion of the American public does even now. They don't change to another channel to see the latest political happenings. This morning watching it. They so far have done a small piece on the convention highlighting Mrs. Clinton, but also devoted about the same time to response tweets and "press meetings" from donnie. Even though most here focus on cnn, msnbc, faux news. That is part of getting stuff like his comments on wanting to hit people, giving russian hackers permission to hack Americans emails is really to me not being talked about there. That is a part of the electorate that is really being missed.

the second time talking about the convention. Most of it was a rehash of what they had on earlier. But they did add a little bit. I think they only had one tweet from dipshit donnie.
