5. Yeah, but I'm really not surprised
The cable "news" networks care more about giving airtime to their blowhards, even when their talking heads aren't even discussing anything related to what the speaker on-stage is discussing.

I've been watching PBS, who have been doing a good job of showing all of the speakers; they're the only channel showing everything on my basic cable.

7. you would think they would cover the 2004 democratic nominee making a speech.
i really hate the cable outlets and have been avoiding them for a long time and tonight once again confirms why.

6. Neither are the Big 3.
I can only see it on PBS.

I think the Big Dawg got Kerry all fired up--he's really nailing it!

8. Effing disgusting. They deprive the American people of information instead of supply them with it.
The MSM are one of the primary factors to blame for the great decline of this country. Kerry's speech was superb. It's a shame they wouldn't let people hear the whole thing.

9. He was excellent and you would think the 2004 democratic nominee would
get some air time.

17. I know. How do they even try to explain it?
"Well, uh... WE'RE the ones with the insight... the viewers don't want to see a political commercial..."

What a joke! It makes me so sad for the country.

21. isn't it funny, they cover about 40 minutes of speeches total but they pundit it
for what 8-10 hours? Does this make sense to anyone? Honestly i just don't give a rip about what any of them thinks about any of it anymore, all they want to do is the muddle the message.

10. I'll repeat what I said in another thread....his speech is pointless
if no one is seeing it. Most people aren't watching CSPAN and aren't seeing it. It's fucking ridiculous.

16. Perhaps the MSM doesn't want Bush/McCain voters to
be reminded of the outcome we could have had after the last Presidential election, and then these last four horrifying years would not exist.

20. People ARE seeing it
and more WILL see it if we tape it, copy it and share it.

If we first understand their true purpose then we can do what we need to do.

BYPASS THE FUCKING PAID DISTRACTORS.

And teach others to do the same.
