Which will the MSM spend more time covering: Gustav or the RNC?

[LostInAnomie]

There is nothing more the MSM likes to cover more than a hurricane. It gives them a chance to get all those "exciting" pictures of storm damage and reporters being blown around in the wind. At the same time though, their passion for fellating the GOP in insatiable.

How can they serve two masters?

[Fumesucker]

1. Split screen? n/t

[Epiphany4z]

2. no clue

split screen?..both are big stories. I am interested in both....but I bet more people want to watch the hurricane coverage.

3. I bet the hurricane.

Much more interesting than politicians giving speeches.

4. I bet the hurricane.

5. RNC, of course. Republic party is their master. Besides, any

shots of NOLA will be censored this time. Mustn't see those alligators eating people.

6. Isn't the MDA telethon on, also? Major football game?

Poor planning, but no surprise.

7. The hurricane has already stolen the show

Now they'll bring all Rethug governor's on TV to deal with the storm. Alabama's governor is on GEMSNBC right now

8. Gustav

From what I am seeing, this storm is a monster. The news won't be able to not cover it. The GOP convention will be an afterthought.

9. One event features a lot of destructive wind. The other event will be a hurricane.

10. what they won't cover is the ron paul convention right across town

it is against the corp owned media law to show any fractures in the puke party

11. They've spent a ton of money to cover the RNC. They won't let that

money go to waste. They'll cover the RNC and we'll see tons of Repukes wringing their hands and gnashing their teeth about how concerned they are about the hurricane.

12. I don't know, but their heads will probably explode. nt

[radfringe]

13. probably gustav

but it's a hard decision when there are two disasters going on at the same time
