The news networks may be limiting their coverage of the Democratic Party convention.
Obama’s decision “makes it enormously more expensive,” said Paul Friedman, senior vice president at CBS News. “It does add to the overall question of how the networks should cover what is a non-news event.”
Since CBS News thinks that the Democratic Party’s convention is not a news event, I wandered over to their Website to see what they think is a news event.
Got it. JonBenet Ramsey: a news event. Democratic Party convention: not a news event. I’m glad we got that clear.
“We want to anchor at it,” one broadcast executive said. “[But] do you need to be there to anchor for all four nights? That’s something that we are asking ourselves.”
Do we need to be running top stories on JonBenet Ramsey twelve years after the fact? That’s not something we’re asking ourselves.
