Media Excluded from NC Democratic Convention

More evidence of hysteria on the modern left: the South Carolina Democratic Party has given MSNBC exclusive rights to broadcast its convention. Other outlets can report only after a three-hour delay. Including C-Span, which has been more or less the political network of record. It live-streams, showing, not telling.

This seems self-destructive. It is in the obvious interests of a political party in a democracy to have its message disseminated as widely as possible. Only paranoia seems to work as an explanation: the Dems instinctively fear letting the public know too much. It fits with the growing demand for censorship on the left. It is important that voters not know what is going in.

They trust only MSNBC, with its highly partisan reputation, to hide what they want to hide, and show only what they want shown.

Which is to say, they believe they have something to hide.
