2. I switched to the online feed...
I'm offended that they think I need these jerks telling me what I'm hearing.

12. Ah, thanks. Well, I guess ALL Americans can't view this. Well, unless they
have cable/sat and unless they don't mind commercials and bobblehead blah-blahs interrupting.

Are you on CSPAN 3 or online? I refuse to spend time listening to those idiots debate who is making points like it is a football game.

8. I just did
I thought it was odd that they felt the need to cut away from a Democrat to make their comments and then go to commercial.

10. Unfortunately
Dishnetwork does not broadcast CSPAN3 here in Northern Vermont so I don't have much choice. I did notice that MSNBC seems to be pulling the trick that when a Republican/Conservative is speaking they let you see the whole speech then when a Democrat/Progressive starts to speak they switch to their talking heads. Do you get the idea that the corporate media is trying to manipulate this process?

22. There are other online feeds besides CSPAN3.
Here, choose from our wide selection:

Where to Watch Obama's Health Care Summit Online

Whitehouse.gov will once again squarely compete with news websites and live streaming start-ups by carrying the entire event live on its own site as well as through its Facebook application.

CSPAN.org owes the Health Care Summit a lot — after all, the network has gotten lots of plugs from Obama himself, who vowed to show the whole thing on CSPAN ever since he first proposed the summit. CSPAN is giving back by streaming the entire event on its web site.

Foxnews.com has vowed to also stream the entire event live.

MSNBC won’t carry the event in its entirety on TV; after all, it’s still Olympics. However, the network has announced that it will stream the whole summit on its website.

CNN Live will carry the Health Care Summit as well, and it may even bring back the Facebook integration we all learned to love during the 2008 election cycle.

UPDATE: YouTube is also streaming the Health Care Summit on its CitizenTube channel. In addition, Nancy Pelosi, John Boehner and Harry Reid have agreed to answer a selection of questions from CitizenTube viewers after the event.

11. I tried. Don't have C-Span 3 on the TV close by.
I am sick of hearing Armstrong Williams. And I'm sick of the talking heads telling me that what I actually heard is something different than what I actually heard! :mad:

23. I don't get Cspan 3, I watching Faux
because CNN and MSNBC either keep having commericials or talking heads. At least Faux just put the camera on and left it there. During the break I'll put on either CNN or MSNBC.
