Link: Obama’s Campaign Shifts to a Bigger Stage for His Big Night

The move [of Obama's nomination to a Denver football stadium], rumored for days and announced by the Obama campaign on Monday, set off a round of complaints from news executives, who for more than a year have been drawing up elaborate plans for a convention that was to culminate in the main hall, at the Pepsi Center in Denver.

Dear corporate media choads: In case you haven’t figured this out yet, all this isn’t about you. If you can’t figure out how to cover a staged event in a metropolitan stadium without soiling your panties about it, then how are you supposed to cover breaking news, much less stuff like the war? (Oh, right, you’re not really covering any of that either. Sorry to have disturbed you.)
