22. I don't have C-Span 3. |
|
I have 1 and 2 but not 3, unfortunately. CNN and MSNBC are staggering their commercials so it's not too bad.

8. Better to start out on cspan, but just because the pres gives a speech doesn't mean |
|
Edited on Wed Mar-18-09 06:47 PM by 960
any news channel has to cover all (or any) of it anyway.
Usually C-Span doesn't cover these "townhall" campaign style speeches anyway, though.
I never liked it when Bush got any free airtime he wanted, and this speech from Obama is certainly nothing I haven't heard before.

13. not on CSPAN or CSPAN2, I tried. MSNBC is the only one covering it at all that I can find |
|
OK, so they cut to commercials a couple of times.
Still better than anyone else is doing IMO

19. What's important to them is undermining everything Obama does.... |
|
which is exactly what I figured once he was sworn in as President. It's the same scenario as when Clinton got into office.

29. The same channels that would show every single minute of |

McCain and Palin hate rallies during the campaign. No commercial breaks, no talk-overs.
