WHY IN HELL IS NO GODDAM TV CHANNEL COVERING THE HOUSE RUSSIA INVESTIGATION?

[Atticus]

Cut away to other news" @ 2:00 PM CST!

[Funtatlaguy]

1. It's now on CSPAN3

[Skidmore]

3. Most of the nation doesn't

receive CSPAN 3.

[StarfishSaver]

4. Most of the nation doesn't watch cable news in the middle of the day, either

If people want to see it, there are several ways they can.

[Atticus]

20. I did watch it on my tablet, but there is no escaping the fact that these historic hearings

were deemed less newsworthy than other "breaking news". It was the networks' contribution to the normalization of Trump sleaze and the dumbing down of political discourse.

[StarfishSaver]

21. You may think this hearing is "historic" but everyone doesn't feel that way - even some people on DU

claimed it was a useless waste of time.

You may not like the network's editorial choice, but not showing this one hearing live in the middle of the day is hardly proof of the "networks' normalization of Trump and the dumbing down of political discourse."

Frankly, it just seems that some people simply want to complain, no matter what.

[Atticus]

22. And, frankly, it seems that some people simply want to excuse, no matter what.

[StarfishSaver]

23. True - and then there are those of us who prefer not to overreact to every

little thing because we understand that everything isn't a conspiracy or plot. Sometimes sh#t just happens and there's nothing more to it than that.

[Atticus]

25. We are both Democrats with the same broad goals. Have a good one. nt

[Funtatlaguy]

5. True but CSPAN 1 and 2 are required to air House/Senate when in session.

[mucifer]

2. msm gets republican money from it's sponsors $$$$ we are f'd

[GemDigger]

6. I don't know but THANK YOU for telling me it is on.

Your hollering grabbed my attention walking by. Well done, Atticus!

7. Link below GD

Clearly we have to spread the word since the media won't.

[GemDigger]

12. I found it and changed the channel. I just needed a shout out to remind me that it was on.

I am packing to move and that is the perfect thing to listen to that will piss me off enough to pack faster. Thank you MM.

[MontanaMama]

13. Moving?

Ugh. Such hard work.

[GemDigger]

19. Yea, it's not fun. But it gets a purge going.

I was right too. Listening to the GOP NOT looking for facts, has me working really fast. The good news is I have the windows open and the TV blaring so if my neighbors aren't listening to it on theirs, they are listening to it on mine.

8. Simple 99% heard Barr say there was no colusion

and no evidence of obstruction. It's all about ratings, there is no audiance for it. Once Barr intercepted the Mueller report it was killed.

[lame54]

14. Definitely wounded but not killed

[uponit7771]

15. Not dead but no fight Barr didn't help

[shanti]

9. Watch it on Youtube

I am.

[Talitha]

10. That really ticks me off

DirecTV only has C-SPAN 1 and 2... not three.
TBH, untill reading this thread I didn't know a #3 existed.

It might be streamed online somewhere but my satellite bandwidth is limited.
What a crappy thing to do... pull the rug out from under those of us who were watching it.

[brooklynite]

16. You can watch it on the House Judiciary Committee website

[Talitha]

18. I'd love to...

But my DirecTV rollover date Wednesday and the Internet has been superslow for a few days already, with pages taking up to 60 seconds to load.

Trying to watch streaming video would be

[Locutusofborg]

11. CSPAN 3 can be live streamed

[budkin]

17. NO COLLUSION! NO OBSTRUCTION!

TOTAL EXONERATION!!!

[Lady Freedom Returns]

24. Live on YouTube right now.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

26. There was a helicopter crash. If it bleeds it leads.

[diva77]

29. Our democracy is bleeding!!

[FBaggins]

27. Because it isn't an investigation?

At least not today.

There's no witness who was involved... no investigator to testify... no administration official to interrogate.

It simply isn't newsworthy of live coverage.

They'll produce a couple of soundbites that allow the networks to put the word "Watergate" and "Impeachment" into the script and that will get them some of the ratings that they want.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

31. Agree. If they can get a major player it will be broadcast. Eom

[diva77]

28. I called all 3 networks to ask that the hearings get airplay

just hems 'n haws from their reps as to why they aren't broadcasting them



K&R for exposure

[Achilleaze]

30. The Story of the Century

and corporate media is chasing ambulances

FAIL on a tragic scale
