And deprive the snarking, in the tank, 'reporters' more viewership for their advertisers. Who knows, as low as their ratings are, it might hasten their demise.
Thank you very much. I had no idea where to get a link and won’t watch the ninnie’s on TV.
Same here. I watched the convention most of the day on C-Span with no commercials and no talking head babble commentary. And I really enjoyed the performances of the house band (G. E. Smith?) between speeches, which I doubt one would hear on the other TV news coverage. They were fantastic!
Made coffee and settled in, clicking to MSNBC. That lasted 40 seconds then on to CNN. Another 30 seconds and off to (whatever). In 5 minutes I’d run them all BUT CSPAN and gave it up. At least I now know what I’ll head for tonight.
Talk about PROPAGANDA networks. Dr. Goebbels would be so very proud of his pupils.
Why would I need to listen to worthless commentators’ opinions on what I just heard myself?? CSPAN is so much better!
CSpan did have the better coverage.
However, I noticed that, during lulls, they opened up the phone lines. One was an ‘independent’ who immediately went into Pubbie bashing, blaming the Republicans in Congress for not passing Obama’s jobs/economy bills. [Idiot didn’t mention or know that Reid in the Senate is the one blocking most bills.]
Exactly! What I did was go to the RNC page for a breakdown of events and speakers, then I tuned into C-SPAN for comentary free convention coverage.
I watched C-Span, too.
It’s not Democrats talking trash I was trying to avoid, but all the screen hogs. I want to watch the convention, not some talking head, right or left.
While I was on my stationary bike away from my TV, I streamed the Republican feed on Youtube. When I finished the “ride”, Santorum finished and Ted Cruz was on. I went into the TV room where my wife had it on Fox. The talking heads were talking over the speech; so we changed it to PBS. They did not talk over the speeches. And Newt was on hand, so that Gwen Ifel, Judy Woodruff, David Brooks and Mark Shields could not run rampant with unchallenged remarks when the speeches were over. Shields was chomping at the bit; but Newt kept him in check. Newt alone kept the entire libtard panel in check.
You are absolutely right. I watched the convention coverage on CSPAN, all night. FNC made me sick with the obnoxious Shepard Smith hurricane reporting in N.O., hoping and praying for a devastation of New Orleans. What dirt bag that Smith is!!! Shame on Fox News Network!!! MSNBC, the Obama, Black Racist, America Hating, champion TV slime, had no viewers to speak of and...terrible, biased, hateful coverage. CNN, as usual was lost at sea!!! CSPAN blew them all away!!!
We watched on C-Span, too, thus bypassing the yakking talking heads on Fox that blocked out good speakers like Mia Love and Ted Cruz. We don’t watch Hannity during regular programming, so why should we be subject to his ego trips during the convention coverage?
TIVO is the only way to watch anything.
I can skip commercials and the political heads telling me I did not hear what I heard.
Why anyone would watch regular TV. I can watch what I want when I want to watch it and I never ever see commercials because I fast forward past them.
Yep, I learned way back in the Reagan-Mondale race to watch this stuff on CSPAN and noplace else.
yes CSPAN is the only way to go.
I too enjoyed the music in between speeches and I loved seeing Boehners face during the rules vote!
Didn’t know that some channels didn’t show all of the speeches - shameful!
I suggest CSPAN to everyone...
It was very nice to be able to see the Convention without any talking heads and without commercials. I don’t care about the opinions of anyone in the media, even Fox News. Just show the Convention and then get out of the way.
Wish I had thought of that. I had to keep clicking away from watching it on PBS. I could only stomach a few seconds of the liberal puke.
