I watched it on NBC for a while, but they kept poo-pooing the event so much that I had to switch. What a bunch of sad sacks.

CNN has become a joke of a news organization.

Considering the way they are cleaning house . . . refusing to renew MeAgain’s and Will’s contract, are any Freepers beginning to turn to Fox again? I know they still have dirtbags on air such as Ms. Shepherd Smith . . .

Trump seems to like them enough.

I would think that Fox News has at least three times CNN’s viewership at any given moment, much less on inauguration day.

The handwriting is on the wall and Rupert Murdoch sees it quite clearly. Actually, Fox had more the eight million viewers when you count the viewers tuned to Fox Business Channel. CNN is dead and MSNBC is close behind!!! The legacy “letter: TV stations are also slowly dying!!!

The recent personnel moves by Murdoch, the dismissal of Megyn Kelly, George Will, the Tucker Carlson move to prime time, along with the addition of Nigel Farage as a commentator and the Martha McCallum move to prime time will lock up the leader of Cable TV for many years to come!!! Shepard Smith must go and so must Juan Williams. The return of Bob Beckel is a good move for FNC, becasue with Juan Williams and weak Dana Perino...”The Five” was and is dyng!!! Be smart, Rupert get rid of Smith, Williams, Perino and Cavuto...and you will own the airwaves for the rest of your days!!!

Too bad the yakking heads at FOX (and every other network) could not stop their meaningless yammering and let us enjoy the parade and the presidential balls.

Blathering it was but not limited to them. CSPAN was the best but picture quality sucked.

I don’t have cable but I read on twitter that conservatives are disappointed in McCallum.

The only channel I get in Northern Idaho has Scott Pelley on. He looks like he has been sucking on lemons all day and his anti Trump views bleed through on everything he comments on...so I read the internet via satellite instead.

It's an expression in South Africa - "Shame." It sort of means isn't that cute in a touching sort of way.

Little puppy crash lands on its face in a frolic with it's litter mates - "Shame!"
