912 DC Tea Party: which is better to record -- Fox News or C-SPAN? (vanity; your opinion)
self | 9/12/09 | NewJerseyJoe

Posted on 09/12/2009 9:31:25 AM PDT by NewJerseyJoe

I'm going to record coverage, but I can record only one channel. Which would you choose to preserve today's events -- C-SPAN or Fox News?

I'm thinking C-SPAN would be straight video and audio; Fox News would have commentary and commercials.

Your thoughts?

How much of Glenn Beck’s coverage do you think C-Span will show? The March on Washington was only shown live and then I don’t think they showed it again and used one camera.

Actually, CNN, or segments of it.

Their reporters are getting shouted down on live TV, in unision, with "STOP THE LIES! STOP THE LIES!" and "TELL THE TRUTH! TELL THE TRUTH!" by Tea Party people in massive unison. It is freaking the reporters out and giving a very disturbed look on the face of the Atlanta Bureau anchorperson live. Great TV! Almost as good when the CNN reporter got challenged by the T Party people in Chicago. The libs are shell shocked. Great TV!!!

Nothing is going on on CSPAN re the rally. And Fox just tunes in here and there.

CNN’s also doing a liberal “talk over” of the event. What jerks.

C-SPAN’s online schedule says that it will be covering the Tea Party from 1 pm to 4 pm.

I wish I had record it just now. It was GREAT! I am still laughing. Those libs looked like they were going to have to change their panties. Great TV. Nothing like a crowd of about 1000 people with Gadsden Flags in the background yelling “CNN is a Liar” at the top of their voices int he background and the reporter turning to them trying to quiet them down to “ask them a question.” I will tell you. People are PISED with CNN. The signs int he background were great, too. Super hand0made signs, some really supporting Joe The Congressman. FOX is showing other protestors. A LOT of Gadsden flags and OBAMA IS A LIAR signs!!!

Happened to roll by Current. They’re showing surfing and babes in bikinis. Their ratings must really suck.

If you had/have ATT DVR, you could record up to 4 shows at once.

Wanna tomato?

I don't. I can record only one program at a time.

I decided on Fox News -- and now wish I had gone with C-SPAN. C-SPAN is showing the speeches, while FNC has Glenn Beck doing a show over a backdrop of the march. I like Glenn Beck, but I wanted to hear the speakers.

Oh well, live and learn. I should be able to grab the video off C-SPAN website later tonight.

I am surprised at Fox this time too, and surprised at C-Span, am currently eating the shoe stuck in my mouth.

On the other hand, Beck has Patti Ann Browne in the studio...    :-)
