Biggest pet peeve during SOTU!
The cameras did not show what was really occurring during applause pauses. They should have shown the entire House! Over and over, I kept seeing shots of the Cons standing ovations as if they were the only ones there.

:grr: :argh:

1. I tend to watch C-SPAN
I noticed how lackluster the crowd was. I didn't see any enthusiasm in that room at all.

4. LOL! Hubby got up and went into the other room when it came on
I looked at him and asked, "You're not going to watch it?"

"Nope!!!" :rofl:

8. An advantage for living in the Midwest, for a change
after missing so many "60 Minutes" for football games - but not in California, I know, at least NCIS came on time here.

13. Came on later here too
But screwed up my one night for TV

Figured the Congress Critters would rather have been looking at the cast of NCIS. They, at least, are entertaining.

3. Noticed that too
The camera was definitely showing the Republican side a lot more than the whole chamber.

9. NBC had a full house shot a few times.
It was like a see-saw, only one side wouldn't budge leaving the Republics hanging in the air. :D

12. When I was driving home after teaching a late class, it was still on.
I had hoped to miss it entirely.

14. I Noticed That, Too
I noticed that, to, and it made me FURIOUS.

I just don't understand why it is so difficult to show the truth.
