Forgive the Question . . .
BUT why in all hell was FAUX NEWS given the contract to provide the pool-feed coverage for DEMO-farging-CRATIC Party’s Convention (Pool-feed means that they provide all the camera and audio work for all networks. The major news networks rotate the opportunity to provide the camera work for all broadcast entities at each major political event).

Albeit, it is Fox.
Technology wise I have always found there feeds, especially live feeds way better than many of the other networks.
For the same reason NFL Fox Football is better viewing than watching a football game on CBS.
The view is crisp, they show you what you want to see and seem to have very able bodied camera men, and again, the technology.

My issue with the pool-feed being controlled by the FAUX News is . . . Roger Eugene Ailes, the father of Richard Nixon’s much lauded ‘Southern Startegy’:
1. FAUX News is not a news organization. It is at best an entertainment provider. So, why was FAUX NEWS even included in the cue to provide pool-feed?
2. On the first night, FAUX News’ cutaways are designed to cast DEMs in the worst possible light. Whether it be transposing crying Caucasians with smiling African-Americans or focusing in on the single bored, yawning or talking folk in a sea of faces . . .
3. Additionally, the microphones for the speakers are turned way up and the microphones on the audience are turned way down SO it sounds like the speakers are speaking to no one . . . .
Some DEM P.R. person requires immediate termination . . .
