39. Good piece, but one quibble in equating the TFG and Harris events...

TFG's event was (ostensibly) a press conference. If Harris had scheduled a press conference I think that would have been covered as well. But Harris' event was basically a campaign event, and typically all the stations don't carry campaign events live. They don't all broadcast all the TFG appearances either.
