6. CBS here too, because
I refuse to pay for cable where I live (D.C, high price / no choice), and my CBS channel comes in better than any of the other three that I get.

3. I'm Watching in High Definition On inVOOM .
Un-interrupted, no commentary (even between speeches) and in DD5.1 sound. It's glorious. Their 24-hour news channel is also in HD. I can barely pick-up on any political bias what-so-ever and when I do it's left leaning. I love VOOM.

5. I have cable but still watch on PBS
The coverage is much better, more professional and less biased.

16. Then they need to get themselves a...
security blanket or a big pacifier and suck it! Jon is on fire lately. I thought I was going to piss myself with the part he and Colbert did, where Steven was sitting on the floor sulking... FUNNY STUFF!!!

9. Switching between PBS and CSPAN
Most of the time I just want to hear the straight-up convention, but if I want to hear what the panelists think of a particular speech, I'll switch over to see what they have to say.

11. I'll admit it-I've been watching FOX
I'm not a masochist, I find it fascinating to watch people lie with straight faces. I usually avoid FOX, their overhyped computer graphics make me dizzy the way "Moulin Rouge" made me dizzy.

I do wonder if Rupert and Roger realize just how stupid the term "homicide bombings" is?

17. c-span has been out in my area since it began
yes my :tinfoilhat: is firmly in place! This is a very wingnut area. All other cable channels work fine but I get snow on c-span.

Been watching PBS mostly but even they sometimes have very biased pundits so I get sick of it sometimes.
