A shout-out to CSPAN coverage. |
|
I've never watched a convention on CSPAN before this one. And I've never come away more . . . connected to what was going on. I got to see all the speakers, all the videos, all the music, the crowd shots that actually ADDED to the experience rather than detracting. It was truly remarkable and I am now hooked. Thanks to everyone for recommending that broadcast.

3. They always have the best coverage |
|
I watched the 2004 convention on CSPAN as well and they showed everything then too, while the networks cut in and out.

If it weren't for C-Span, I wouldn't know who Joe Biden was. He's not a media darling - goes straight home after work - no time for interviews...Joe is on C-Span when they have special hearings and he is super good when his turn comes up to question...

That is what television should be, not the talking heads. Don't tell me what the fuck the speech means. Let me listen to it uninterrupted.

C-SPAN did for the Convention what NBCOlympics.com did for the Beijing Olympics.
Absolutely amazing coverage.
I will call WJ tomorrow morning and let them know that DU recognizes the justice they did to our Convention.

8. I AGREE. I've been pitching PBS all week, but saw C-Span at a watch party. |
|
I'm sold! No talking heads, commercial breaks. I was there!

9. I watched the coverage on C-Span also. |
|
It was absolutely great and so much better than listening to the pundits try to stir up controversy.
