Sounds pretty suspicious to me. Cut coverage of the first African American Presidential nominee accepting his party's nomination in front of 75k people? Yeah, not newsworthy at all.
Citing increased costs, the major television networks "are considering curtailing coverage of the Democratic National Convention after Monday's announcement that Sen. Barack Obama will accept his party's nomination in a Denver stadium," Politico reports.
The change in venue "could add hundreds of thousands of dollars in costs to already cash-strapped news divisions."
Said one CBS News executive: "It does add to the overall question of how the networks should cover what is a non-news event."
