I have seen the most lousy, assinine, coverage of both Hurricane Gustav, the Republican Convention and Sarah Palin in the last week. What a relief it was last night to turn on C-Span, listen to ALL the speeches beginning way back during the dinner hour and not have to put up with the blathering DC and NYC know-it-all idiots in the cable TV news media trying to explain womanhood and small town America.
Fox News you get a D for political analysis this week. Your "panels" and guest analysts are strangers in a strange land when it comes to small town America, a place you would never visit if you have to leave the studio or your hotel rooms. I am most disappointed in you. You're just dull. As soon as I realized you were skipping the speeches of Romney and Huckabee in favor of your repetitive NYC/DC talking heads, I was out of there.
CNN you get a D for the same reason as Fox but also for that rhymes with witch Campbell Brown and that pole stuck up his butt Jack Cafferty. I don't know Brown but I've seen enough this week to extremely dislike the woman. The only reason you don't get an F is because your hurricane coverage was the best of the cable news channels.
MSNBC you are like channel 185 on my TV and I have to put on my snow boots to wade through the stuff you peddle regularly. I didn't visit you last night, so no grade, but I did pop in to Morning Joe this morning. You know that blonde guy you had on. The one that Joe Scarborough suggested offer his e-mail address up because his comments were so sexist that everyone sitting around in the coffee place's eyes bugged out because they couldn't believe what he was saying. Well, that's just one example of why your viewing audience is probably smaller than the Wasilla high school graduating class.
C-Span, ya done good. I can't tell you what a relief it was to watch the speeches and absorb the atmosphere in the convention hall without some idiot newsperson telling me what I was seeing or analyzing what I was feeling. I'm coming back to you, tonight.
C-Span is the only way I can ever watch the conventions. I don't need talking heads speaking over the speeches, or a bunch of idiot analysts telling me what I just saw.
So you can just absorb all that substance, truth telling, detailed discussion of the issues for yourself??
What the hell did you get out of your C-Span broadcast?
I mean you dont' like to mix the hype, spin and one-sided commentary of pundits with the Convention's hype, spin and one sided propaganda of lying politicians ?
Campbell Brown seems like a condescending witch. Not only in the conversation in which she demanded over and over to know a "decision Palin made on the Alaska National Guard" (is he supposed to have a list of decisions she made on a day-to-day basis?) but even in subsequent conversations.

C-Span - the only real news coverage worth watching.. No spin, just the facts and viewer call-ins of every pursuasion. (Forgot McNeil-Leher - that's excellent, too)
What does that make Sean Hannity, who fights with his guests regularly? Campbell is no Bill O'Reilly, but I'd rather watch her than any of the FOX News barbies

It's true ... some people don't need to be spoon-fed. I can figure out what I'm watching without instant "analysis."

The conventions, unfiltered. A broadcast that figures I'm smart enough to make up my own mind.

Give me a break.
So you're assuming that most viewers can't figure out when the politicians are spinning or lying, without some talking head there to tell them?
