COMMENTS: Maria Holds Court
NBC (13 min v ABC 16, CBS 18) spent slightly less time on the wildfires than its rivals. Instead, Kelly O'Donnell was assigned to cover a Campaign 2008 conference in Long Beach entitled Women as Architects of Change. It discussed the role of candidates' spouses on the campaign trail. O'Donnell shared soundbites from the wives of Edwards, McCain, Obama, Romney and Thompson--"less like a debate, more like Oprah," she called it. Why would NBC spend time on fluff on such a heavy news day? Perhaps the conference's hostess, the First Lady of California, called in a favor: Mrs Schwarzenegger is better known as Maria Shriver, the former NBC News anchor.
