Also on CSPAN the sound is cleaner, less background noise, and they don't cut away from their coverage for complete BS.
Plus on C-Span you get can count on the opportunity to watch all the front row VIPs walk into the chamber: Joint Chiefs, Supreme Court justices, cabinet members, etc. For me it's always interesting to see the high ranking officials in our goverment that you don't always see in the media on a daily basis.
Eh. CSPIN is about as interesting as watching paint dry. Somehow, they manage to make even the most interesting events as dull as humanly possible.
FNC's coverage of this was solid, and I appreciated the analysis leading up to the speech rather than a showcase of who showed up and what color tie they wore that night. It's the State of the Union, not the Oscars! Clearly CNN missed that memo.
