No story here. Move along. Nothing to see.
Contrary to popular belief I am not one who has super glued the TV channel selector to FOX NEWS so while watching the Republican Convention yesterday I tended to skip channels, mostly watching CNN and PBS for their coverage but hitting all the so-called news networks in the process. When a commercial or a talking head would come on I would swap channels.
So watching MSNBC I cut away when Rachael Maddow showed up and what did I find but a minority speaker on all the other networks. End of minority's speech and MSNBC would then cover the next speaker? Hmmm.
Seemed fishy.
Then I found this story this morning:
Link = MSNBC cuts every speech made by a minority from RNC speech coverage
and this one
Pathetic: MSNBC Cuts Speeches Given by Minorities at RNC From Coverage - Katie Pavlich
and this one
http://dailycaller.com/2012/08/28/msnbc-abandons-gop-convention-during-every-speech-by-a-minority/
So I was not the only one to notice that Blacks/Hispanics were not present at the GOP convention despite the fact that there were at least 4 or 5 who spoke yesterday.
Tonight is Condi Rice. Wonder if they will cover her speech or if she will be touted as the token in the party of white guys?
