Sadly David Clarke doesn't know that violent crimes are down by a pretty fair margin. Maybe the media should stop sucking from the violence and conflict teats so people can have a more accurate perspective. But no just perpetuate this fear bullshit.

Reminder that violence and crime have decreased a great deal over time, and it's the sensationalist 24/7 media coverage which is scaring people more.

If you're not scared the media loses ratings, if your informative then politics has to change and focus on things that can't pander to anyone.

I bet you see people whining about the tampon joke for the next week.

Someone in this thread was already throwing a fit over how morally reprehensible it was

The good thing about the RNC is that there will be so many gaffes that the tampon joke will simply blend in among the many other faux-pas

What do you think Trump is?

The nominee? Are you trying to zing me? I'm not making the argument that someone doesn't "deserve" to speak at a convention.

So I was on Twitch's blog and I read this
Second, the Democratic National Convention has offered Twitch broadcasters the rights to co-stream the event. Set your broadcast game to “DNC 2016” and provide your own commentary throughout the event. Both Twitch and the RNC made extensive efforts to bring co-streaming to the Republican National Convention as well, but ultimately we were bested by redtape.

Interesting how the Republicans don't want co-streaming. I think they are afraid of all the anti-republicans that might co-stream the RNC and start to bash it.

And the Democrats are confident the co-streamers are on their side.
