I am pretty sensitive to sexism against men---even little stuff. I haven't been watching the Democratic Convention but I did see Bill Clinton's speech. I noticed pretty quickly that it seemed all of the people focused on in the audience during the speech were women. Of course this did not apply to wide shots, but individuals or couples seemed to always be women. I reran the video and counted the individuals and couples that the cameras zoomed in on in the audience. I counted 16 individual women, 1 individual man, 4 female couples, and 2 mixed couples. I did not include in the final count when they zoomed in on Hillary and Chelsea Clinton (6 times) or Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff (twice). So the total was 26 women and 3 men. This cannot be coincidental. They purposely ignored men. Sure, this is really petty stuff, but it shows the complete gynocentrism and pandering to women by the Democratic Party. This has to stop.

I don't know who was controlling the cameras----a very good question, but probably one that would be very difficult to find the answer. As far as the network goes, I was switching back and forth among the channels and they all seemed to be receiving the same feed.
