What the folks at PBS gain in quality of coverage, they lose in stylish headgear. Poor Judy Woodruff has been roaming the DNC and RNC convention floors in DJ-style headphones with a huge foamy microphone in front of her face, and (I think) a small antenna perched in her hair.

Meanwhile, the CNN folks wore much sleeker, more modern broadcast apparatus. It’s good to be the network of the King.
