Hopefully none of them are NYTers, otherwise they will (in their heads) be justified to be mad at Harris for the next decade as a result while ignoring actual problems.
What a loss, not having all these Credentialed Reporters inside the building to reframe and regurgitate to people what they were seeing on their TV sets. So much relevant information we’ll never know.

Imagine for a moment if they’d been let in to the “overcapacity stadium.” We’d be reading angry reports about how crowded and unsafe the convention was and why did the fire marshall and Dem officials allow this to happen.
Anybody with any experience knows that unless the last night is being held at a stadium, you’re going to get locked out if you come late. Happens at every DNC. Rookie mistake.
It seems like Heather was late and didn’t possess the proper credentials but doesn’t want to take fault for that. Not sure what that has to do with the difference between print and broadcast.
Got my ear bent a lot this week by state legislators claiming they were “mistreated” and “disrespected” because of their seat assignment, or because they couldn’t land tickets for friends, or didn’t get invited to some corporate suite. Wanted to tell them to get over themselves but had to bite my tongue.
Lots of folks who are used to being treated like big shots learned they were just another face in the crowd.
I think it was John King, last night he specifically referenced how crowded the floor was at 4:30 and how the veterans of past DNC’s knew to get here early so they weren’t locked out in standing in line forever.

Well if there’s one thing I know about journalists they don’t hold personal grudges over perceived slights so this should be fine.

Reminds me of the 2010 film The Other Guys.

Similar for local elected officials. Saw plenty of state legislators and Chicago Alders in the same 90+ min line as me to get into the UC last night.

Nothing more sobering than finding out you’re just another local muckety-muck.
