I REFUSE TO WATCH MSNBC or CNN for the remainder of the convention.... PBS HD FOR ME!!!!
Edited on Tue Aug-26-08 08:39 PM by RollWithIt
I've had just about enough of the false campaign "coverage" being offered by the big two. If you are wondering, I haven't watched Fox for more than 5 seconds in over two years. I refuse.

I ask humbly that many of you either tune to PBS HD (if you have HD service with companies like Comcast) or CSPAN or PBS non HD. They show all the speakers. They don't talk over speakers. They don't skip over speeches so they can sit there babbling about NOTHING. The show is on the floor. Watching my recommended channels is the only way to view this convention as it is meant to be viewed.

EDIT: I did a quick flip to MSNBC during the Milly Ledbetter speach and was SHOCKED to see Keith talking while they filmed a crowd OUTSIDE the convention hall. Sigh.... I'm so disappointed in NBC's coverage most of all. I could expect CNN to screw it up, but come on MSNBC, WTF? TWO DAY BLACKOUT FROM ME!

May never go back (except to ogle Keith).

Plus I get Jim Lehrer, my FAVORITE! (If I can't have
Uncle Walter, I can at least have my Uncle Jim!)

5. For the serious coverage, this is IT for me ...
If I want the "post-game" I'll go back to MSNBC
but this is about as close as it comes to the
kind of convention coverage I remember so fondly
from my childhood.

:loveya:
