[spanone]

with chuck toad in the lead role

[onecaliberal]

12. i just changed to cspan...

[beachbumbob]

3. Like I said....media role is to diminish Hillary and democrats and create news...

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

4. They did the same last Monday while we laughed our butts off

Now we're watching our convention circle the bowl.

Fucking intruders.

[63splitwindow]

9. Convention's fine. Watch it on C-span for TRUE view. nt

[timlot]

5. No this just shows the disorganization of the DNC.

These kids shouldn't even be on the floor.

[BumRushDaShow]

6. This is why CSPAN should be the 1st choice

The media MUST get ratings and they will generate "discord" even if there is little or none.

[MFM008]

7. who is surprised?????

They don't want to hear about issues
They want to talk about dissent
Booing and protests.
ONLY ONE TIME DID THE MEDIA FOCUS ON PROTESTERS
OUTSIDE during the RNC convention.
Those poor dumb asses booing are playing right into the
tRump/Putin/ RNC/Republican strategy.

[Agnosticsherbet]

10. MSNBC is creating a false narrative.

The vast majority are cheering. MSNBC is going out of their way to show only signs critical of Clinton/Kain.

[spanone]

13. i realized that when i turned to c-span....that's why i called it 'bullshit'

[tenderfoot]

11. Nothing to surprised about...

in fact, the convention is unwinding just I thought it would.

Trolling from the right and the media reporting it as fact.

[lpbk2713]

14. This is why I watch it on C-SPAN.

They try to keep the commentary (read: drama) to a minimum. And if
anyone really wants interviews, they are on live later than the others.

[GeorgeGist]

15. Just came over ...

to get away from Chris Hayes. Kinda scary ... He's acting like a 5 year old before christmas.

[Rex]

16. Seems to be working among the constantly outraged.

The MSM sure as shit don't want HRC to win and they prove it all the time.

[Stinky The Clown]

17. They're like a fucking public enemy number one. I have long said:

Worse

Than

Fox

[spanone]

18. i turned it back on and chris hayes must have been huffing glue!!!!!

[AgadorSparticus]

19. MSNBC is worthless. Not sure what the hell happened to them but

I never watch them anymore. CNN is better now.

[loyalsister]

25. MSNBC followed Fox's lead

It's opposing arguments with the more vitriole the better. Since a reality TV star is the GOP nominee that model that conflict driven model for both entertainment and news media, apparently is good for ratings and the bottom line. In the end, it just shows how classless US media can be.

[AgadorSparticus]

26. They sure are following Fox's lead. And I am not into newstertainment.

MSNBC is dead to me.

[loyalsister]

29. I got rid of cable over a yr. ago

I haven't watched any cable news for a long time and it has been great!

[AgadorSparticus]

30. I don't have cable either. I haven't in years b/c I got tired of paying for 150 unwatchable channels

Think of all the money we have saved? Media in the US is ridiculous. Like you said, they want to make everything into reality tv. It is nauseating....

[loyalsister]

32. I now think I was throwing away money in the interest of frustrating myself senseless

If only we could start a movement! I am glad Walter Cronkite and other greats aren't here to see it.

[krawhitham]

20. DNC has an app for Roku & Fire TV

[trueblue2007]

21. they need to stop talking to NINA TURNER. She won't vote for Hillary.

[Greybnk48]

22. I watched about 5 minutes of Chuck Todd a couple hours ago

say right off the bat that "this is a LOT MESSIER than the GOP convention!!!!" Pant pant pant! Right after watching breathless Steve Kornacki act like he was about to soil his drawers because of Barnie Frank being booed.
I liked it when one of the first speakers said "Democracy is messy, this is democracy!" And the whole crowd started chanting "This is what democracy looks like."

Do yourself a favor and see if you can get DNCTV on cable. We have ATT Uverse. No commentary by corporate shills. It's wonderful!

[AgadorSparticus]

28. I am going to look this up. Good to know. Thanks!

[backscatter712]

23. Cable news is cancer. Turn that shit off.

Watch the convention here, without the bobbleheads.

[loyalsister]

24. The continued poisoning of US culture

by conflict driven news and entertainment media. Martin Omalley should have been given more attention, but the media (and a significant number of people watching) encouraged the most antagonistic Democratic competition.

[RKP5637]

27. I go to C-Span. I get tired of newscasters talking over everyone like the

convention is all about them as they try to turn it into a reality show with them as hosts.

[oswaldactedalone]

31. C-Span rules

when it comes to the DNC!!
