Howie Kurtz, on Newsnight with Aaron Brown, says the 15,000 press reps at the Convention are in a "Boston bubble," and wonders not only "What are we doing here?" but whether, four or eight years from now the press (I think he really means television) will even bother to show up. Hell, if they don't, they won't be missed. They're doing nothing but sitting around chewing their cud and saying truly stupid, dishonest things (Tucker Carlson just said that "both parties are pretty moderate") and complaining that there is no news. They might find some stories if they went out and actually talked to people (as Stirling Newberry, Matt Stoller and many other bloggers are doing), instead of to each other.
