This excerpt is from the Aug. 18 episode of one of my favorite vidcasts, Uncle Jay Explains the News. In it, he explains how a recent bit of news-business insanity (15,000 journalists covering each of the national political conventions) might actually be a masterful move by news-org staffing strategists.
