Cable sees 'big story' in political conventions

Television coverage of the upcoming political conventions either will be feast or famine.
    When the parties gather separately for four days of speechifying and hoopla, cable news channels will present a veritable banquet for viewers for days on end. Broadcast networks, however, will offer just an appetizer: an hour each day from 10 to 11 p.m.

Networks have gotten so choosy that a speech from Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, Massachusetts Democrat, has been cut from network coverage. Sen. John McCain, Arizona Republican, also has been edited out of the lineup during the Republican convention.

Of course they have been cut. Can't show the nutcase, that makes the dems look bad and they sure can't show McCain, since they were just drooling all over him to be vice president and he turned them down.

The Bush ad where McCain introduces President Bush has scared the daylights out of them!!
