nightline was a waste tonight....
I would have hoped they would catch and broadcast the upbeat moments but they didn't we had ted koppel interviewing Chris Burrie, another reporter on his opionions and casting negative on all the great upbeat stuff......

I hope they bash bush and the rethug convention like they do this... I hate reporters adding all their opionions and talking over the speakers or during the show... I

I want tv to just show me the show and get out of the picture....

1. You can watch the rest of the convention on C-Span.
If you don't get cable, you can watch the C-Span convention broadcast online, if you have a fast connection.

2. If you don't get cable
For the time I watched it on PBS, I thought they did a better job than the networks of not talking over people. I tried to watch on all of the stations covering the Convention so that I could get an idea of how different (read biased) the coverage is.

5. I watched pbs and there was that guy michael...who just
was obnoxious after carters speech...and right in the middle of clinton's speech it went off the air....I started switching channels and found it on abc....which earlier there was no coverage.....but I usually try to watch nightline because they have had some good programming...but ted koppel and Chris interviewing on an empty democratic convention floor....was a waste...and they showed the preparation for security and how the police monitor and take pictures of everyone demonstrating.....

I may try cpan on line but I have a dial up line...

3. I watched Niteline, too, after watching all the speeches on PBS.
Whatta letdown! Showing Kerry throwing that ball to the soldier, and talking about the boos! What about * getting booed at nascar?

And calling him dour? They pulled that on Gore, too, calling him wooden.

The media whores whisper false words sweetly into the ears of unsuspecting voters, who do not know that those words came straight from Karl Rove. The media whores spread their legs for Republicans. Anyone who believes the media whores' words must not mind sloppy seconds.
