As rumored last week, Obama’s holding his acceptance speech at a 70,000-person stadium instead of the comparatively small center holding the convention.

News outlets, though, are threatening to curtail their coverage of the event, saying that it “could add hundreds of thousands of dollars in costs” to something that they’ve already budgeted millions for.

Loan me a good camera for a couple days, buy me a plane ticket to Denver, and an economy hotel room for the duration, and I’ll do it. Total cost? Maybe $2,000? That includes a per diem, though. If you give me a high-end video camera, fly me to Denver, and get me a press pass, I’ll pay for my own food.

I’ll just take 10% of the hundreds of thousands of dollars that this would apparently save?
