This article focuses on some of the reports send by the "Nation" correspondents on the Republican National convention in San Diego. Former NBC News president Reuven Frank said that news is information that somebody, somewhere, wants to suppress. Everything else is just advertising. No sooner had Frank finished that thought than he was himself suppressed. Anchor Bernie Shaw cut Frank off mid-sentence and CNN's directors tossed the coverage down to urgent "breaking news" on the convention floor. David Corn reports that the Republican leader Pat Buchanan was not given a chance to speak in the convention.
