But for minority speakers, here’s a handy guide to how the rival networks broke down coverage:
Mia Love: MNSBC was in commercial; Fox aired Shepard Smith‘s coverage of Hurricane Isaac from New Orleans.
Brian Sandoval: MSNBC aired hurricane coverage; Fox’s Sean Hannity interviewed Rep. Eric Cantor.
Ted Cruz: MSNBC cut to panel analysis of the convention; Fox went to commercial and returned with a Scott Walker interview.
Artur Davis: MSNBC aired panel discussion, mentioned his speech 5 minutes in, but didn’t air it; Fox aired the entirety of the speech.
Nikki Haley: both MSNBC and Fox News aired the speech.
Lucé Vela Fortuño: MSNBC aired more roundtable discussion; Fox News cut away to discussion by Bret Baier and Megyn Kelly.
So with the exception of former Rep. Davis, MSNBC did not omit any speeches that Fox News did not also omit.

Did they realize they were being insulted right to their faces or did they let it slide?

Try to contain your butt hurt a little better. It's about the RNC, Democrats AND their propaganda media. Its a Democrat party/MSM narrative that requires them to cover up the contradictions to their lies.
What are you talking about??
Why are you so confused? Are you playing dumb? The media ignored minority speakers based on their skin color. They did it to advance a Democrat party/MSM narrative (Republicans are RASIS!). One that you see being repeated right here in this thread.

I am confused, is this thread about the RNC or the democrats?
Or is it just your inherit distrust of the white devil?
Truth be told, i don't think you - ever - watch Fox News.

Who really cares?
The only reason why so many minorities are speaking is because the GOP wants to make it seem like Black people are against Obama too. They are painfully tokennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.
It's like when Fox wants to talk about black people or urban issues, then they bring one of their tokens on to discuss it.
And of course black republicans exist, I'm not saying they don't.

Why would anyone? You'd have to be low IQ to handle it for more than 5 mins.

I believe the point was that the NEWS took out the minority speakers. There WERE minority speakers. The party IS becoming more diverse. But when you have the NEWS reporting GIMPING you, it's hard for folks to see the truth when it is being overlooked by MEDIA who is deciding what we see through media reporting. I don't think this was a gripe about the convention itself. The convention DID have minority speakers. It was MSNBC who decided to omit them. Not the RNC.

You can argue over the reason why until every tuns blue, but the fact remains that the Republican party lacks diversity.
