SO.....which channel will you use to watch the Conventions next week

[LynneSin]

I've finally decided on MSNBC because if Keith Olberman is part of it, well it can't be that bad.

[polichick]

1. Will they all be covering from the floor - or only CNN?

[Nancy Waterman]

2. We will also get to hear Rachel's commentary

I love listening to her take on things.

[eshfemme]

3. I am using CSpan because I have no TV and MSNBC doesn't do live video streaming.

Otherwise, I would so totally watch MSNBC-- they're probably the only reason for me to get cable TV.

[vaberella]

6. Cspan too, not because of the reasons above. I hate FN and CNN, not too sure about MSNBC. n/t

[Mz Pip]

4. I'll flip around.

Unfortunately I have classes on Tues and Weds night so I'll have to TIVO the festivities. I'll use MSNBC for that. But I do occasionally like to hear what the shills on Faux are babbling about.

I doubt I'll tune into CNN at all. Wolf and Candy are pretentious beyond belief.

I won't miss the Daily Show, that's for sure.

[davsand]

13. I agree, I'll be watching more than one channel.

I will probably watch both MSNBC and CSPAN most of the time. I love MSNBC's coverage and the characters on there, and I love the CSPAN neutrality. I tend to be careful about watching any one channel exclusively, however, because I do think they all slant one way or another even IF they are not doing it by design.

I also will probably try and catch the BBC or CBC coverage because they have a different take on it all that is less US-Centric.

5. C-SPAN

I guess that is included in "Other," but should have a vote of its own. It's far and away the best unless I want a little commentary, then I'll go with MSNBC.

[hlthe2b]

7. CSPAN online, CNN )work big screen)and MSNBC on cell phone

I have no doubt that I will hear about whatever blowheart is saying what on Faux news, but I have no ability nor inclination to watch.

[Dr.Phool]

8. Comedy Central

Gotta keep things in perspective.

[benddem]

9. do I have to watch? n/t

[gblady]

10. probably going to....

toggle back and forth between C-Span and MSNBC

[Radical Activist]

11. c-span or online.

The corporate press is a wasteland.

[FrenchieCat]

12. Combination of C-Span, TV One and MSNBC.

If I get offended with the MSNBC chatter, I'll switch!

[cyndensco]

33. TV One is covering the convention?

[FrenchieCat]

41. Yep!

[cindyw]

14. I voted for MSNBC because my Replay TV will be recording MSNBC, but

if they pull that crap like they did last time (remember when Chris talked over Sharpton's passionate speech), I will be turning CSPAN on the big screen HD. That way I can go back to the recording if I want to, but can see the convention from my own perspective and no one else's

[Egnever]

15. Rachel!

Nuff said.

[AlCzervik]

16. probably cspan and hopefully BBC America will have some coverage.

[Iggo]

17. I didn't see "None" as a choice there.

So I chose "Other."

[Skidmore]

18. DISH Network will have an entire channel devoted to the Convention.

On 211 between the CSPANS.

[Minimus]

22. That is where I will be watching

[Liberal Dose]

19. None. I plan to let all of you watch it and tell me what's going on. nt

:D

[vaberella]

20. My "other" vote was for "c-span". ^_^

[MichDem10]

21. Look forward to Keith's commentary.

[Ichingcarpenter]

23. I'm looking forward to Pat Buchanan and Tucker

so I can change the channel to c-span

[JNelson6563]

24. You forgot: The Daily Show

:toast:

[highplainsdem]

26. That's right!

:toast:

[highplainsdem]

25. CNN most of the time, some channelsurfing. Can't stand Keith any more. Tweety-dumb to Tweety-dee.

Never thought cable news would have a more reliable and irrational Clinton basher than Tweety, but KO became one.

Well, maybe Dick Morris is worse.

Would really like to see them all put on a desert island together...

[SeattleGirl]

27. C-SPAN mostly.

But I will check MSNBC, for Olbermann and Maddow.

[blue_onyx]

28. Probably CNN...

I watched them during the primaries. I tried to watch MSNBC on the first night of results but I could only tolerate Chris Matthews for about 3-4 minutes before I had to change the channel. So I just stayed with CNN.

[question everything]

29. CNN for an occasional coverage

I cannot sit in front of TV all day and all night, so I will rely on CNN, that is making extra effort to appear balanced, to offer highlights and, yes, commentaries from both sides of the political spectrum.

MSNBC and Keith Olbermann are the left version of Fox and O'Riley. I don't need either.

[Arnold Judas Rimmer]

30. MSNBC definitely.

Keith, Rachel, and Tweety's improving. Yeah, Pat Buchanan will probably still be whining about Hillary even on Thursday night, and they'll probably have Joey the intern killer on as well, but half a good team is better than an all bad team like CNN or FAUX are guaranteed to have.

[Fleshdancer]

31. All of the above

I'm always curious how each station covers stuff like this. MSNBC will probably get more attention than the others though.

[ObamaKerryDem]

32. I'll probably watch most of it on MSNBC..

Primarily for Keith (and on the occassion, Matthews, lol), but will probably watch some on C-Span as well.

[Kaylee]

34. TV One...

I'm black and want to watch the historic event from the black perspective.

[Liberal In Texas]

35. Probably PBS. No cable.

May surf the broadcast channels.

[Trajan]

36. Basic Cable doesnt get MSNBC

So it will be 'whatever of the above', when it isnt 'none'

[invictus]

37. C-SPAN

nt

[Hutzpa]

38. C-Span and MSNBC

with Keith Olberman

[lse7581011]

39. I Wish I Could Watch MSNBC but....

my local cable company took it off of expanded basic a week ago! Coincidence?!

[Diamonique]

40. I'm gonna try TV One's coverage. If I don't like it, I'll switch to C-SPAN. n/t

[nsd]

42. Definitely MSNBC.

Despite the presence of Joe S. and Buchanan, it's clearly the best.
