Did you notice that NONE of the main networks carried Clinton's speech?

[tblue37]

Jackasses.

[KingOfLostSouls]

1. big surprise

that speech destroyed their talking points.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. That's why I'm watching CSPAN...

[eShirl]

3. are you fucking serious?

damn

[tblue37]

24. Yeah--ABC had "Supernanny," and NBC had "America's Got Talent."

I didn't see what CBS was carrying, but I know it wasn't the speech, becuase I was looking for it.

They didn't want to remind America of what Bill Clinton could do--and what he did as president. They wanted America to forget what our country was like during Clinton's presidency, compared to waht it is like under Cheney-Bush.

[ailsagirl]

35. Oh well-- that says it all (network tv sucks)

[goodgd_yall]

4. Are you kidding?

That's hard to believe, even as assholean as they are.

[GrizzlyMan]

5. It's been that way since 2000

That's when they started cutting it down to an hour each night. His slot didn't fall within their 1 hour of live coverage. It will be the same next week for the Repugs...an hour of live per night on ABC,CBS and NBC

[many a good man]

6. The media are TRAITORS to the country!

I'm fed up of being fed up!

[Gabi Hayes]

7. and NOBODY...NOBODY, is showing Kerry!

nobody

nobody

[Gabi Hayes]

8. well, CSPAN

[ejpoeta]

15. yeah, i noticed that. but then again.... i didn't want to hear him either.

oops. did I say that out loud?

[MiniMe]

21. Kerry is tearing McSame a new asshole

He is doing great. To the point. Comparing Senator McCain to Canidate McCain. Go Kerry!

[Heather MC]

23. KERRY IS DOING GREAT!!!

[tblue37]

26. It was a great speech. Truly excellent. n/t

[11 Bravo]

27. Your loss ...

asshole. Oops, did I say that out loud?

[ejpoeta]

33. you don't need to call me an asshole.

[onenote]

38. I don't think it was "needed". But it was earned.

[ejpoeta]

40. that's real nice. i don't call people names, and I expect the same courtesy in return.

You may have a different idea than i do, but that does not make me an 'asshole'. It's called respect. Perhaps you should learn to show some of that to others.

[scarletwoman]

20. PBS is. And a kick-ass speech it is! (nt)

[tblue37]

29. I used C-Span. Complete coverage, no pundit blather. n/t

[scarletwoman]

31. Don't have cable. PBS is it for me. (nt)

[elocs]

22. Well, I'm watching Kerry right now on PBS. n/t

[tblue37]

25. Kerry knocked it out of the park, too. Hilalry, Bill, Kerry--

all three of them gave A+ speeches. If the American people are allowed to hear them they, will be powerfully moved. Unfortnately, most Americans won't seek out what the main networks don't show.

[book_worm]

9. that's because network coverage starts at 10 est.

[MichiganVote]

10. Boycott the MSM.

[frogmarch]

11. I quit watching the main networks

and have been watching the convention on CSpan. Lots better there!

[writes3000]

12. It was on NBC, CBS and ABC here in LA. Maybe it was up to local markets to decide. nt

[Drunken Irishman]

13. They will.

The networks don't go live until 8:00 MST, about a half hour before Biden gives his speech. They'll almost certainly cover Clinton's speech then.

[bigwillq]

14. I watched it on CSPAN.

:bounce:

You mean major like NBC, ABC....? :shrug:

Don't they only cover the 10 p.m. hour?

[GrizzlyMan]

19. Yes, it's been that way the last 2 cycles

They do an hour of live per night on the big three.

[Staph]

16. I'd bet pretty serious money

that Big Dawg's speech will be played at 10:00 PM EDT, just before Biden's speech. Don't panic yet!

[Egnever]

17. Unbelievable

[Life Long Dem]

MSM knows it's not the Clinton's moment.

:bounce: Couldn't let that poke go! :-)

[No Elephants]

18. Shuuuuuuut Up! Outrageous!

[Raine]

28. No...I was watching CSPAN

I never bother with those networks when I want to see anything important. x(

[Robeson]

30. I've been watching CSPAN. It's been great.

[Awsi Dooger]

32. CBS is showing a replay right now in the West

At 7 PM. I think their coverage just came on and they led with Clinton's speech.

It's even more impressive the second time. Anyone who posted Kerry's speech was better has got to be kidding.

[ailsagirl]

34. What?????

[apnu]

36. Which probably explains why they are getting shitty ratings right now...

... while cable is going gangbusters.

Fools.

[justiceischeap]

37. I'm guessing most people saw it on C-Span, PBS or the News channels

Keep in mind that people don't need to tune into the three main networks to get their news any longer. I would also venture a guess that lots and lots of American's have, at the least, basic cable. It's not surprising that they aren't showing the coverage on those channels.

[Overseas]

39. Wow! I heard about Kerry but not carrying a former President ?!?!?! //nt
