monologue. They've been going on for almost an hour and a half now about some weakening thunderstorms in the area. Basically the weather guys just hijacked the national programming so they could gas on for as long as possible. Wall-to-wall Dopler radar forEVER instead of Bernie. So pissed off. Unbelievable. Worse than watching OJ driving down the freeway at 10 miles an hour. I told the local affiliate that I thought they'd taken Bernie Sanders off the air on purpose. Ugh. Hope someone posts the interview on youtube tonight.

p.s.: Tavis Smiley's interview with Bernie on Tuesday night was absolutely fantastic. If you didn't see it, you can go watch it on the PBS website.

p.s.s.: the storms suddenly got worse but the Kimmel episode is already on youtube!!

posted on the Home Page too. Good interview and fun. Lately I'm forgetting to watch PBS and Tavis who's great so thanks for the reminder. The programming interruption you had sounds intentional, incredible that Bernie's appearance would be obstructed. About a month ago or less a poster wrote that while visiting Louisiana they couldn't link to Free Speech TV or Thom Hartmann's program because it was blocked I think. Bizarre, actual censorship.
