I have a question of how these conventions are produced. What, specifically, is behind the annoying convention of overdetermined cutaway and reactions shots? You know, the tearful elderly black woman at John Edward’s mention of the civil rights movement, or the buzz-cut military man at the mention of fighting soldiers. It’s what’s what made the last convention almost unwatchable. Are the networks just given a common camera feed by convention organizers, or are their production choices similarly lazy?
Now Gwen Ifill is asking Kerry Advisor Ted Divine what he thought of Kerry’s speech and predictably he’s launching into talking points. Is there absolutely no one she could ask for an honest reaction?
