Things I need to know for my next entry

Exactly as the title says. This is a post for me more than you. Your's is next, I promise.



Where is the footage of protesting at the DNC? Fox, at least, covered protesting at the RNC, but I have seen nothing at the DNC. I have heard fleeting rumors of it though. So, where is the footage? Fox isn't gonna show it, obviously, being a Conservative channel. I shall have to check the liberal channels, I guess.

Don't take that to mean that I only watch Fox. To be honest, I haven't been watching anything recently, prefering to get my news in test form these days. But my dad watches Fox- and nothing but Fox which I think is a stupid move. I'm rather conservative myself, but there is no way in hell I would watch just Fox. You can't get a straight line out of them any more than you can out of MSNBC or CNN. You just THINK it's better because it's the only coservative station of that level, where as there are several liberal ones. Makes Fox look - to people like my dad- like the reporters willing to "get to the tough issues" and "tell you what the other side doesn't want you to know" and "tell it straight". They don't.

I also need to check out if anything even happened at the Independant Convention. I literally have not heard ANYTHING about it. I think I am going to have to dig a bit deeper on that account.

I also need to find videos and text transcripts of the speeches by the four candidates. That should be easy though. The RNC and DNC both have websites and would be stupid not to post the speeches in all formats. And I am sure that I can find something on YouTube for the Independents... I actually don't even know if they gave speeches at the INC...

I need to find approval ratings for all candidates, including the VP choices. In particular, I need to find reactions to VP choices. I need to know, in general, what each party thinks of the VP Choices.

I know there is a lot more that I need to know, but I can;t think of it right now.
