I accidentally did a “Buy It Now” on Amazon. It’s disconcerting. It’s indeed something I wanted, so... phew! - Mopsy Aug 19, 07:47 6

- Meh. If all you do in your speech is nominate Bernie, that's all people will talk about. -- nm - Inigo Aug 19, 07:04 6
  - She did what was asked of her, and NBC News spun it into something different. She’s right. It’s damaging. - Mopsy Aug 19, 07:42
  - I disagree that it's a meh thing, nor is that what she is taking issue with. -- nm - ty97 Aug 19, 07:23
  - this is more than 'meh' on NBC's part (imo). They screwed up. -- nm - Diva Aug 19, 07:13
  - But if you’re a major news org, maybe don’t post a tweet characterizing it as something it’s not. -- (edited) - znufrii, drinking heavily Aug 19, 07:10
  - That's all they would give her and it is done every convention. NBC knew what was going on and chose to post that terrible tweet. -- nm - Krusty Aug 19, 07:08
  - and yet if that procedural stuff didnt take place, Sanders fans would spend the next 2 months complaining about it. -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 19, 07:06
- I genuinely think it was just someone who didn't understand what was going on, but it's no time for amateur hour. -- nm - Reagen Aug 19, 07:03 9
  - NBC knew in advance what it was. That tweet never should have been posted. -- nm - Krusty Aug 19, 07:07
  - Probably, but that just speaks further to institutional failures at NBC and the broader media environment to allow that to happen - znufrii, drinking heavily Aug 19, 07:07 7
    - If AOC's tweet is true and everybody was briefed in advance, absolutely. Laziness as part of the MSM. - Strongbad Aug 19, 07:15 4
      - They shouldn’t even have required a briefing, how many conventions has NBC News covered? You’d think there was some element of institutional memory... -- nm - znufrii, drinking heavily Aug 19, 07:22 2
        
        yep -- nm - mud Aug 19, 07:53
        
        You would think, yes. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 19, 07:37
      - Laziness on the part of NBC. -- nm - Diva Aug 19, 07:19
    - this. Somebody knew and it still happened. Media cries when people don't trust them. Stop effing up the easy stuff. -- nm - Diva Aug 19, 07:15
    - Yep. -- nm - Judge Bane Aug 19, 07:08

      - I'm here for your hip hop and Bob's Burgers needs. LOL -- nm - Krusty Aug 19, 08:25
- I agree that we should all have a ticking clock in our head while we're speaking. Cutting a comment too short is better than going on for too long. -- nm - Reagen Aug 19, 06:51 7
  - One of my most useful tools/advice points I give to people when they start doing more public speaking - Strongbad Aug 19, 07:47
  - I agree with Krusty. Let the people most excited, and most informed speak on a subject. - Inigo Aug 19, 07:17 2
    - This is a very good suggestion. -- nm - Qale Aug 19, 07:39
    - Right. I want to hear from the people that are passionate or informed about a topic even if it runs a bit long. - Krusty Aug 19, 07:21
  - That would generally be my problem whenever I did radio hits. That last fifteen seconds doesn't add what you think it does. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 19, 07:12 1
    - It was a fun indirect lesson in a teacher seminar. I was supposed to have five minutes and I don't know how long I went but when I ended - Reagen Aug 19, 07:32
  - I don't think it's an issue for someone to talk for too long though there were points where I was hoping to hear more from everyone. -- (edited) - Krusty Aug 19, 07:00
