If you are watching anything else, you are part of the problem.

3. TV one, African-American operated and owned, will do gavel by gavel primetime coverage!
Otherwise any of the C-Span are worthwhile.

10. Well, at least we shouldn't be aiding and abaiting corporate cable....
I mean, it looked and sounded like it was the GOP convention this morning...so I stopped watching after about 2 seconds!

... not as "pure" as C-SPAN, but neither is it a Faux clone.

(on edit, said NPR when I meant PBS)

motivation?

8. My Friend Just Took Pics w/ Eugene Robinson & Norah O'Donnell
He's still there and I said, tell them they are losing their new found base - we won't watch this 24/7 Bill & Hillary show - we're tuning into C-span.

Edited on Mon Aug-25-08 04:04 PM by nc4bo
"After watching a couple hours of your Democratic election coverage, I became disgusted. I tune and hear the same partisan, right-wing biasness exhibited by Fox News. I can do without that.

I refuse to watch this. I will watch the convention but it won' t be on MSNBC. I'll be enjoying the truly fair coverage provided by CSPAN instead.

Thank-you."

Edit: Done with CNN too.

I'm not good at this but they'll get my damn point.

and can't find live convention coverage. They keep giving me something else. Have you found it? It looks like they aren't starting until later.

36. Been fighting them for a long time
Got sued by Michael Savage. Cost Rush Limbaugh millions. Have gotten CNN to change stories. Dealt with Congresspeople about legislation.

I'm on it.

My personal quest is to wean myself off giving large corporations any money, instead giving it to local individuals and small businesses.

We have to hit corrupt corporations where it hurts: the wallet.

28. Sadly, at work I can't watch or stream anything. At home I can't watch either channel.
I hope that doesn't make me part of the problem if I can't get to those channels.

29. Sirius has a 24/7 dedicated Dem Convention channel, too!
I listened to it all the way home. They were playing classic DNC moments, and I laughed out loud and smiled so big when I heard Ann Richards ('88)say, "I'm so glad to be with you tonight. After eight years of vice president Bush, I thought it was about time y'all heard what a real Texas accent sounds like!"
