I watched some of the coverage of the convention on PBS before the main media started covering it at 9. The coverage was a joke. The commentators wanted to be the story and kept cutting away from the speeches to explain how bad the convention had been and how divided the party is.
Next I went to CBS at 9 only to see the speeches cut off again in order to do interviews with anyone they hoped would be negative. Unbelievable.
Probably the most shocking thing in the coverage to me was the segment with Hillary so she could call Trump dangerous, unfit to lead, on and on. Since when does the Republican convention include interviews with their opponents? The media is doing all it can to stop any convention bounce for Trump.
If Trump's wife or one of the speechwriters did copy from Michele's speech it had to have been one of the dumbest moves ever. Did they really believe no one would notice word for word clips? Coincidences happen but boy this is really a heck of one. At least the media is loving it and using it endlessly as a lead item to try to hurt Trump.
Time will tell.
Oh, and if you have a minute click on this link to see our current president taking a segment from a speech of another a few years earlier. No media problem here...
