Poll question: What Station Will You Be Watching Tonight?

I heard Fear Factor is being preempted for something or other.

Should be interesting.

1. HDNET!!!

The complete convention in Hi Def...woo hoo!

[Rosco T.]

9. Yuppers! HiDef Baby!!!!!!!!!! n/m

[jayfish]

15. The Sound Alone In That...

building is awesome. What resolution is HDNET showing the convention in?

Jay

[quispquake]

26. Hi Def Resolution!

1080!!! It's CLEAN, and the digital sound is beautiful...

[jayfish]

31. Sweet, Alot Of Stations Just Use Upconverted...

480i/p and call it high def. There is nothing like 1080i though. One of the little things I noticed is how sweet that podium is. It looks like it's built like a tank yet it automatically adjusts to the speakers height. Also, like I said earlier, the sound is unreal. I have never heard sound that good from a live event .

33. It's awesome!!!

I cranked it for Clinton, Obama, Edwards. It was just like being there!

My HD station shows a lot of Democratic stuff (INHD) does yours?

[jayfish]

35. Not So Much Democratic Stuff On It's Face...

but the 24hr news channel is straight as an arrow down the middle and if they do venture to the left or right it is most definitely to the left. Also alot of their (VOOM) Exclusive HD channels seem left leaning to me. I really enjoy it.

37. They had A documentary

about Clinton's official photographer. It was really moving. Saw a documentary on Bill and Hillary before he was Governor. I was really surprised.

[Sugarcoated]

39. I flip between

CNN, MSNBC and C-Span.

[Not Me]

2. I had been flipping around...but Ralph Reed on CNN last night

was the final straw.

Tonight is too historic to miss.

[giant_robot]

3. PBS for me

If I had my druthers, I'd watch C-SPAN, but I cut cable tv from the budget since starting grad school.

[pennylane100]

17. I believe you can watch C-span online

but I am not sure.

[mark0rama]

21. So you can!

My Google search turned up http://www.c-span.org/watch/

But good luck getting a connection during Kerry's speech. I can't even get through now. So it'll probably be PBS for me, too.

[DinahMoeHum]

4. Been watching on PBS - but tonight I'm at a Kerry house party. . .

where it's C-SPAN, baby !!!


:kick::kick::kick:

[MissB]

5. C-Span is the best

Block out the inane commentary.

[rucky]

8. But...but....how do you know what you're supposed to think?

[CO Liberal]

43. You Think For Yourself

That's one advantage we Democrats have over many Republicans.

[rucky]

45. I will, if you say so

:P

[swag]

6. I'll be watching PBS until they crap out, at which point

I'll stream C-span to my laptop.

I don't have fucking cable, thank goodness.

[gpandas]

29. goodness does not care. n/t

[emulatorloo]

7. Will watch CSPAN live, but tivo MSNBC

want the full unadulterated experience, but am curious about the spin. . . .

tweety and scar were predicting Kerry speech would be awful boring wooden dull etc etc etc

mitchell and fineman were saying "Don't Underestimate This Guy. . .plenty have made that mistake."

[OnionPatch]

10. C-Span

I like to get the pure, unpolluted convention.
I don't need some corporate-owned, media-whore bloviators telling me what I just saw.

[gauguin57]

11. The less well-known speakers can be the most interesting ...

... we get to see who the leaders of the party are -- out in the heartland. You will ONLY see those speeches (given by congress people and lieutenant governors and governors and others) on C-SPAN. You see a few major speeches and a LOT of Kerry-bashing, from what I've seen, on the cable news channels.

And the NETWORKS are WORTHLESS during the conventions.

So it's C-Span for me, all the way. I don't need some blathering talking head telling me how to feel about what I've just seen.

The Rev. David Alston -- member of Kerry's swiftboat crew -- who spoke the first night, was not shown on ANY of the network or cable shows. It was a fabulous, fabulous speech that could have swayed some undecideds toward Kerry. Only C-Span had it. Most of the country didn't see it.

[jayfish]

12. HDNEWS...

on VOOM. Complete coverage, commercial, interview and commentary free.

[TWiley]

13. I even heard republican butt-wipes

on NPR discussing how bad the convention has been for Boston, they read a bogus letter from someone from east L.A. who happened to witness Teresa Kerry's choice of elegant wine at a 5 star restaurant, and to top it off, how boring the speakers were and that it was a waste of time to watch.

It was disgusting.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

34. OMG she ordered an ELEGANT wine

at a FIVE STAR restaurant?????

Stop the presses, THIS is BIG news!!!!!

Sheesh. What levels they will stoop to, eh?

[TWiley]

44. That was the thrust of both segments.

The NPR commentaries were describing the Democrats as being bad for Boston, and therefore, bad for the Nation. They were also trying to undermine the thrust of several speeches; that rich or poor, there is a place for you in the democratic party.

They were describing the leadership at the 5 star restaurant as being elitist, and how vastly different they were from someone from east LA.

I could sense no value as news, or any true basis in reality. The sole purpose of these commentaries and stories was to bash the democrats as being out for the wealthy, and not the least bit interested the poor. The fact that it was an opinion that may represent a segment of the population was its only redeeming quality

My eyes have really been opened to how much control the extreme right really has on the media. CNN, and now PBS.

[Claire Beth]

14. PBS....

and C-span are the best. The pundits aren't competing for who can talk to the most.

[KansDem]

24. I'm watching PBS; can't get C-span...

The other channels are out-of-the-question...

[truebrit71]

16. C-SPAN...

..No talking heads explaining/distorting what I just heard with my own ears....

Fabulous coverage...I have watched with my family every night this week...

[0007]

18. Exactly, 'ya get to use your own mind without a bias account

[LeinesRed]

19. I have to admit...

after Clinton gave his marvelous speech I turned to MSNBC to watch Tweety's head explode...that was fun.

[LeinesRed]

22. forgot to mention

that C-Span is my choice

[napi21]

20. I like C-Span for the actual speeches, but like to hear some of

the comments on CNN & MSNBC. I appreciate David Gergen who seems to be fairly reasonable, and I like to see some of the guests each chanel has and how sharp they are. CNN had Ann Richards the other night, and I thought I heard someone was going to have Cuomo.

There are several I won't watch at all, and I just keep the remote in hand.

I think it's a bad move to totally stay away from anything but C-Span. It's like playing ostritch.

[woofless]

23. C-span for me. It may be a bad move

but I prefer to avoid all the talking heads. They offend my delicate sensibilities.

Woof

[Trailrider1951]

25. PBS for me

Got no cable, got no satellite. PBS and the internet are my only choices!
:shrug:

[TeeYiYi]

28. Watch C-Span on the internet . . .

. . . because PBS cuts out everything but the headliners. :grr:

Keep C-Span running on your computer — then when PBS starts yammering opinions amongst themselves you can turn the volume down and catch the action on the internet. www.c-span.org

TYY

[genius]

27. Recording C-Span and watching PBS (I won't be near cable tonight)

[ronnykmarshall]

30. C-SPAN = No Hos!

[rucky]

32. Okay, so if NOBODY's Watching CNN and the like...

then how do we get threads about the lame commentary moments after it happens?

Not that it's anything to be ashamed of... I'd rather hear that stuff from a DUer, than have to sbject myself to it.

[hatrack]

36. Has anyone forwarded this link to CNN, FOX or MSNBC?

Maybe we should wait until there are a few hundred more votes tallied, but they might find it interesting.

[shawmut]

38. I'll be flipping around

C-SPAN has the best coverage but I can't help but checking in on the spin.

[NoBorders]

41. yep. I get curious about the spin 'everyone else' is getting

so I turn on CNN, if briefly.

[Hutzpa]

40. I Hope Since..

we all going for C-Span that they don't turn on us you know, remember Lou Dobbs, voted for him and then changed on us, anyway fingers crossed.

[TankLV]

42. C-Span - caught a few minutes of whore Judy on CNN last nite

will never watch again.

How shameless can she be with all her condescing comments.

It was simply disgusting.

Only more disgusting will be after she cleans off her face from fellating bunkerboy every time he manages to not fart during the rupuke convention.

I am completely disgusted with these whores.
