What Did the Republican Convention Leave Out?
from Convention Coverage (The Takeaway)
Tens of thousands of words were uttered on stage at the Republican National Convention this week. Some words cropped up repeatedly: "Jobs." "Economy." "Families." "Obama." Others received far less attention. According to a New York Times analysis, the word "environment" appeared only five times. "Afghanistan" received four mentions. In a segment that will be repeated for the Democratic National Convention next week, The Takeaway's Washington Correspondent Todd Zwillich discusses what issues were left out or glossed over, and why.
