ABC, CBS aired no analysis from Dems during Day 2 of RNC coverage, despite airing analysis by Republicans during Day 2 of DNC coverage

Summary: Neither ABC nor CBS aired analysis from Democrats, Democratic strategists, or progressive media figures during their live coverage of the second day of the Republican National Convention. By contrast, both aired analysis from Republicans and conservatives, as well as from Democrats and progressives, during coverage of the second day of the Democratic National Convention.

1. The MSM is in the can for McCondo and the republicans

they are having to work twice as hard as they did for AWOL Bush when he ran in 2000 and 2004.

2. During the Democratic convention I was sputtering nonstop

that they damn well better have more Democrats than Republicans on as talking heads during the Republican convention. It's so blatant and so obscene, yet it's the Obama-loving, liberal media. Bull.

9. This is exactly what they did in 2004

I thought it weird that almost all the stations had mostly Republicans reviewing Kerry's convention - but thought in a way it's an interesting idea to get the other side. But, as you observe for this year, they had the same mostly Republicans for Bush.

3. Don't forget CNN. Larry King was suppose to host only Dems this week. So much for that!

4. Yeah.. What the hell happened to that?. . .n/t

6. There have been Dems on Larry King for analysis Tuesday and Wednesday.

Stephanie Miller and Ed Schultz were on yesterday along with Rep. Wasserman-Schultz.

7. But last week it was ALL Republicans.

Why the switch?

5. You noticed that, huh? All the 'analysts' are conservatives for BOTH conventions.

It's annoying as hell. Every time they cut to the punditocracy during the Democratic convention, there were GOPhers and right-wing stink tankers all primed to spin and dismiss. Instead of offering a similar counterpoint during this Charade from St. Paul, we're treated to EVEN MORE GOPhers and hate-mongers. It's appalling.

8. Yes the propaganda is loud

I am crossing my fingers the people see through it.
