Democratic National Convention

[AsherHeimermann]

PBS, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, and MSNBC will all be provding live coverage of the Democratic National Convention. Much of these networks will have the same live video. PBS's NewsHour will start at a special time to coverage the convention for the week.

Rachel.....

[gateley]

3. Oh -- didn't even think of that! MSNBC it is. nt

[StarfishParable]

17. MSNBC, but I will so be missing Tim Russert

Life is so unfair. He was so excited about this election.

[gateley]

2. If they all have on-line feeds, I'd prefer PBS.

If not, I'll take what I can get.

4. Note About Coverage

I will be blogging the DNC Convention on my website (www.AsherHeimermann.com) as well.

5. I am worried

I have a friend with homeland security and they are spooling up for security for the Dem convention but don't think they will have to do so for the RNC. It makes you wonder.

6. Hey, Asher...good question!

When I was your age, I was incredibly excited by the 1960 presidential race. I was a BIG John F. Kennedy supporter, and so were my parents and my grandfather. We watched the conventions on NBC, which provided gavel-to-gavel coverage back then, with Chet Huntley and David Brinkley as anchors. The conventions were much more exciting in those days. I probably will check in on MSNBC periodically during this year's Democratic National Convention and keep up with the running commentary on DU. Like you, I'm a great supporter of Obama, and I hope and pray that he wins in November by an even bigger margin than Kennedy had in 1960.

8. Humm...

PBS and MSNBC for me.

[ChazII]

7. PBS n/t

[YvonneCa]

9. I will only watch...

...a network that actually reports news AND covers what is going on inside. If all they do is sit outside and gab...that's not coverage to me. :)

[AsherHeimermann]

16. And...

And what network would that be?

[YvonneCa]

18. In 2004, it was NONE...

...of them. In 2008, I'll have to wait and see if there is any actual news reporting done.

[AsherHeimermann]

19. Not Even...

PBS?

[YvonneCa]

21. Very little. n/t

[AsherHeimermann]

22. Okay.

24. Hey Asher...

...good luck to you! I think it is VERY cool that you are participating online as you are. I wish more people your age were involved in politics...and the world in general. The world NEEDS your generation. :)

11. MSNBC, no doubt.

[LWolf]

12. PBS. I don't watch network news.

I don't usually watch anything that passes for talk/news on PBS, either, but I'll watch the convention.

[LBJDemocrat]

13. MSNBC, because of Chris Matthews. nt

[femmocrat]

14. What about C-Span?

I think they are having gavel-to-gavel live coverage.

[AsherHeimermann]

15. I Did Not...

I did not see anything on their website... :-(

[MiniMe]

23. They are supposed to have complete gavel to gavel coverage

And there is no commentary on cspan.

[crispini]
