Little learned about Corkery thanks to little coverage

As a Democrat in Iowa's 2nd District and seeing 1st District candidate Christina Bohannan ads, but none for Sarah Corkery, I was pleased to see KGRG coverage of her Iowa State Fair Soapbox appearance on the Aug. 13 news.

I was perplexed when after 8 seconds the video switched from Sarah to showing the backs of the audience, the stage not even in view. Then it switched to a closer view of the backs of the audience, and inexplicably followed with a close up of the back of the head of one audience member.

The video did go back to Sarah on stage, but only for 8 seconds, then returned to showing the backs of the audience. In the audio someone was talking, but I'm not sure whether it was Sarah or someone else.

Deciding to not just rant, I went to the clip on the KCRG News website and I compiled that the clip shows: Sarah for 41 seconds, the backs of the audience for 53 seconds, and Conner Hendricks, the Narrator, for 10 seconds. So distracted I didn't really learn anything about Sarah Corkery.
