1. CNN is pretty sucky. I don't get MSNBC so I am stuck with them. I prefer the net as
the fastest info out there is on here.

2. MSNBC's weekend programing is atrocious...
Just simply terrible. Awful beyond belief.

I do believe Hollywood Vice is on at the moment.

8. Why doesn't someone start a letter writing campaign to MSNBC to give us decent weekend programing?

3. Anybody have a good Twitter feed for it?
I'm thinking cable news is not the place to follow the updates.

10. Try twitter -- BUT try this:
Search using the hashtags #p2 #HCR


Gives a very good stream of what is happening.

Also try this: http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/live/countdown-to-reform-wire/

I cannot watch cable and have not for a while regarding the HCR debate. They have a job -- and that job is to keep you watching.

13. TCM - it's more informative than any of the news channels
and it's less stress provoking...

16. I dearly hate to say this but....


FOX News was the only cable channel I had that actually covered today's event "wire to wire." I hate having to watch FOX News and listening to them try to "spin" everything in favor of the GOP is a terrible way to try to get information.


But what else was I suppose to do?



MSNBC is just downright awful on weekends. And CNN didn't give today's events the coverage it deserved. I don't understand CNN. To be honest, there was no difference watching CNN today vs CNN Headline news. And CNN wonders why their TV ratings are terrible?




When will MSNBC realize that covering Politics is more than just a 5 day a week job.
