Very positive for the dems.

11. We are going to have Brooks by the time it is over.

He has a jealous look plastered on his face. Lol

[femmocrat]

3. It's kept me sane!

[BumRushDaShow]

4. Oh HELL yeah

[rurallib]

5. last week when they carried the Pubs they really sucked

I guess content has a lot to do with it.

It was really hard to watch a hate fest.

This week, much better.

[mcar]

13. C-SPAN, PBS, and NPR are doing a great job...

Too often they don't get no respect, but this is the sort of thing they do so well.

Listening to NPR in the car earlier and recording the convention on C-SPAN. Watching here and there on PBS.

14. C-span has been wonderul. Nt

15. I encourage anyone is watching the convention on television to

watch it on CSPAN. So much more enjoyable and you actually get to see everything that is happening without interruptions from pundits who think they have to have an "angle" to present. Thank goodness of CSPAN!

16. C-span is great

It's just the convention. I can form my own opinion, or I can just look at DU while watching. I don't need all those other talking heads to tell me what to think.

[Todays_Illusion]

17. I am entirely opposed to that private and very conservative operator of CSPAN.

And do not understand how such a partisan organization is allowed so much power in controlling what you see about your government and having to listen to the very conservative and often nasty to Democratic dialog they run and the telephone calls they feature.

[Grassy Knoll]

19. No Phone-Ins or Commentary So Far...

..During the convention, Just a live broadcast, I Think PBS is doing
the same thing .Not Their regular programing.

[63splitwindow]

23. What are you talking about? Gavel to gavel with no call ins or other interruptions.

That is what we are discussing.

[Haveadream]

18. Love the Span!

[George II]

20. Took me a couple of hours yesterday to realize that there WAS an option....

...to the droning of Brian Williams and the ummmummming of Wolf Blitzer.

[LiberalFighter]

26. Those two are sickening.

[Bigredhunk]

21. Yup

I wish DISH would get off their cheap ass and offer it (and TV Land, & others) in HD. We don't seem to be seeing much in the way of savings only having it in SD.

[63splitwindow]

22. Absolutely. Can't even imagine going back to the other crapola. nt

[Cha]

24. OH YEAH!

Mahalo, Grassy!

[angrychair]

25. Excellent coverage

Perfect!

[ellie]

27. I have been watching

all night. Go C-Span!

[avaistheone1]

28. Refreshing viewing.

We got to see more of the candidates and less of the pundits.

[dobleremolque]

29. Started out on PBS

but switched to C-SPAN.

Sorry, but not a single pundit or commentator adds anything. Not Gwen, not Judy who are normally good at creating perspective. Certainly not the dour David Brooks, and poor Mark Shields can only leap from strings of 3 or 4 coherent word-islands surrounded by a sea of blithering and stammering.

And the commercial networks? Don't get the started....they add NOTHING. Nothing. Nada.

[gademocrat7]

30. Thank you, C-Span

[YvonneCa]

31. Kudos to CSpan for their...

...uninterrupted coverage. For the conventions, debates, hearings and their coverage of Congress there is nothing better!

I love CSpan!! ❤️❤️❤️
