MSNBC reserves time for its own talking heads to talk and they've treated minor RNC speakers the same way regardless of race/color, and that's why I've tuned into CSPAN instead of MSNBC. Not only that, but former NBC band leader G. E. Smith was part of the entertainment, playing all that grandpa music.
I noted with interest the music selections of that band and where they chose to cut a piece off short to accommodate the entrance of the next speaker. That alone was worth tuning into CSPAN for.
