I'm somewhat mystified by the 'the networks did not carry enough of the DNC' complaint. So what? Only a small fraction of US households still receive TV only via terrestrial broadcast. The vast majority get cable or satellite TV, which almost invariably carry CSPAN. CSPAN had gavel to gavel coverage. Almost anyone who wanted to watch any part of the DNC could do so. Why should the networks duplicate the effort, at the cost of millions of dollars in ad revenue? There was very little of interest in the Dem's 4-day infomercial; nor, I suspect, will there be in the GOP's infomercial later this month. By 'of interest' I mean something important, which could not have been predicted ahead of time.
