If you have C-SPAN, use it!
I keep seeing posts about the inane comments by newspeople on various stations - C-SPAN is your friend! No commentary, no commercials, all Democrats all the time! :D

5. Why don't DUers want to see the whole convention?
On C-Span, the only people talking are the people who are suppose to be talking.

And the music - woohoo!

12. I am struggling to understand why DUers continue to torture themselves with the M$M
I've watched the entire convention uninterrupted. Also, they showed the foreign policy summit this morning with his advisors. They've been introducing his entire foreign and domestic policy team; also showing all of the convention happenings around town.

25. Because we don't get CSPAN.
And because you can only view CSPAN online with a Microsoft viewer, I can't get on there either.

17. I still enjoy Keith and Rachel, and Tweety sometimes
but I can hear what they have to say later. I've watched more and more CSPAN as the convention has gone on.

22. I've switched to them after the convention ends each night.
I don't want a play-by-play from them and I don't want them talking over anything or anyone I want to hear. But it is interesting to listen to them, especially Keith and Rachel. Plus, as AWESOME as C-SPAN is, they have call-ins after the program ends and those are torturous.
