If there is any serious news coming out of these conventions, I am hard
pressed to identify it.  All I see are Hollywood-style, content-less,
media opps......

real political positions are buried in the language of legislative
proposals.....while PR position statements frequently belie the actual
policy positions in bills, Exec. orders, pleadings, etc....

journalists should unravel this obfuscation, but they are far more
interested in ephemeral, minute to minute horse-race patter....

too bad, ....people deserve better
