Toby speaks out on convention coverage
July 28th, 2004
“There isn’t going to be a horse race to cover either in New York or San Diego, but we gave you the airwaves for free 70 years ago. And 357 days a year, you can say who’s up and who’s down—who won the West, and lost the South. But what’s wrong with eight days, not every year but every four years, showing our leaders talking to us? Not a fraction of what they said, but what they said.“
—Toby Ziegler, TWW ep. 3.19, “The Black Vera Wang”. (A choice quote, inserted into my day by a happy TiVo channel selection over lunch.)
(Also, did you spot Richard Schiff at the convention? 10:44 (EDT) during the first night’s NBC coverage.)
