Fox, CNN, C-SPAN barred from live coverage of South Carolina 2020 convention

WOW.  The Rats have totally lost their minds.

In a first, only one TV outlet — MSNBC — will be allowed to deliver live coverage of Saturday’s South Carolina Democratic Convention where 21 presidential candidates are expected to speak, drawing heated complaints from other networks.

C-SPAN, which has never been denied live coverage of a state convention in the network’s 40 years, has reluctantly pulled out of the convention and other weekend events sponsored by the party. CNN has filed a complaint. Fox will also be barred from providing live coverage to its viewers.

The decision by the South Carolina Democratic Party was a surprise to the outlets and came just yesterday, long after all three had begun to ready for live coverage of the nine-hour event, one of the biggest on the Democratic presidential calendar so far.

In an email to the media, the party announced that MSNBC had the exclusive rights to cover the event live. It did not explain why.

“IMPORTANT: MSNBC has exclusive rights to broadcast the 2019 South Carolina Democratic Convention. Any footage of the convention taken by other outlets may not be aired live, and is EMBARGOED FOR THREE HOURS after the close of the convention. This embargo includes any live-streaming from social media platforms,” said the note from the party press office.

Bizarre. I wonder how much money MSNBC had to 'donate' to somebody to get this? It smells fishy.
CNN? CSPAN? What the hell? CSPAN has never been barred from broadcasting anything before this.
Something is going on. This is too weird...

CNN being banned from live coverage of the DNC convention? That's like telling Archie he can't swap spit with Jughead anymore.

That is the reason in a nutshell.  I watched one of their conventions a few years ago...where they denied God.

Enough so that I need not see anything further from them.

They're not going to be able to shut it down now.  Too much news on FB, Twitter, Youtube, etc.  Hoist by their own petards.

@Sanguine

Tell me,has not the first move every dictator in history made been to seize control over all news and make it illegal for anyone else to operate a news service?

Yes, but it may not be as easy to control now.

I'm pretty sure He noticed if I did.
