Dan Rather on the DNP convention: "Dullsville"

cbsnews.com

Interesting excerpt from Dan the Man's journal:

Then again, Americans are, as a whole, more sophisticated than they were even a few election cycles ago about the inner workings of political operations — in part because virtually news-less conventions have led reporters to focus on the people pulling the levers behind the curtains. With this in mind, whatever fallout comes in the end from Kerry’s space-suit shot may have as much to do with voters wondering whether campaign slip-ups augur governing slip-ups as it does about superficial concerns about whether or not a candidate looks goofy.

Are we in the press reading too much into these things? This is what happens when something vaguely resembling “news” drops in the midst of packs of journalists starved for same—it gets chewed over ‘til there’s nothing left but the splintered, spit-out bones.
