“Very appreciative that @CNN covered the vast majority of the Republican Convention last night. That was really good for CNN, while at the same time being good for our Country. Thank you!“

I watched CSPAN and FOX... it never occurred to me CNN would cover the convention in a real way...

Weird.

No previous president has ever had the trolling skills of this man.

I was assured HERE yesterday that there was no way FOX would do this, or Hannity, Ingraham, Tucker and Breem would "raise Holy Hell"!

"Is this genuine? Or is he trolling CNN?"

When is he NOT trolling?

"Fox was unwatchable due to the talking heads..."

I switched over to OAN early (raw and uninterrupted) - I hate people telling me what I just heard.

I actually watched a good bit of it on CNN because that imbecile Sean Hannity would.not.shut.up. He really is stupid as hell. He talked over every speaker!

Fox is not just hiding the convention speakers for political reasons. I think these networks are no longer capable of covering a news event.
I swear if God returns and ushers in the end times, they will cut away within 5 minutes to have Dana Perino and 4 others discuss the significance and how they think this will play with independents.

During a previous incarnation of the latest insurrection, I remember some black panther types stormed in on a police briefing. The stuff they were saying was fascinating and Fox immediately cut away so that their talking head could tell us they did not want to carry something which might not be accurate. How can actual events not be accurate?

Yes but what about the Paul Ryan Network (AKA Fox News)? We’re they any better than CNN

Fox was better, I suppose, in that they were much more positive, praising the speakers and such. But Sean Hannity, who I normally like, was DRIVING ME CRAZY! He kept interrupting in the middle of speeches to make commentary. Muting the speech right in the middle just so he could run his mouth. If somebody is giving a good speech, you don't mute them in the middle just to talk for five minutes about how good the speech is and how you believe the same thing?!?

By the end of the evening I'd given up on Fox entirely and just switched for no interuption coverage on CSPAN.

“FNC didn’t give him the same consideration in terms of coverage’’.

I know. Tucker Carlson couldn’t seem to shut up.

You are spot on. One America News was on the job. Great coverage...I left Fox early because of their interruptions. I would never give CNN the light of day.

OAN is the way to go if you have access.

You talking about CNN or Fox News?

I think it's a tongue/cheek question (funny, too). I was talking CNN. Last night I flipped to CNN occasionally to watch them harrumph each other about the scurrilous lies the RNC was propounding. Then I'd duck back over to C-span for the unadulterated view.

OAN’s coverage was excellent. Their after-event discussion also was good. That’s where we’ll be watching tonight. RSBN is good, too, and I like supporting the kids.

Biggest loser of night 1 of the RNC was Fox News.

Are they *trying* to drive viewers to @OANN by not actually airing half of it and muting the speeches while pundits talk out their ass about the convention?— Mark Dice (@MarkDice) August 25, 2020
