What station for the inauguration? I'm sticking with CNN!

[aaaaaa5a]

I thought that today for the train ride I would be watching MSNBC. However I find myself actually watching more of CNN. Gergen, James, O'brien, Blitzer and A.C. are doing a wonderful job chronicling the days events. CNN is doing a great job talking about the history of race relations in this country with Soledad O'brien and Roland Martin. I think conditions in this country years ago when it comes to race relations was far worse than the general public realizes. Plus CNN is in HD. So far CNN's coverage has been outstanding. It's very educational. On Monday they are carrying the MLK speech (I Have a dream) in it's entirety. David Gergan is fantastic. So is Soledad and Roland. So far CNN gets an A+!

I was going to watch MSNBC today. But once again (for the hundredth time!) I have been disappointed by their weekend coverage. Please understand that I have not watched much of their coverage since 11am. But I have one question for MSNBC?

Where's Keith Obermam?

Where's Rachel Maddow?

Where's Eugene Robinson?

Heck... where's Pat Buchanan?

I know Chris Matthews is doing a wrap up show this evening. But could he not come on and provide insight throughout the day?

Over at CNN John King has to do a whole 3 hour show Sunday Morning. But he is still on CNN providing commentary. My favorite MSNBC reporter (Chuck Todd) is stuck reporting with underdeveloped cell phone technology. What a waste of good talent! Todd should be at the news-desk providing his insight.

I think MSNBC is short-changing the event by not having their "big guns" there. This event is historic. And it only happens once every 4 years. And this year is extra special! Why can't anyone at that station ever work a weekend?

I'm sticking with CNN for the rest of the day. And I will probably be with them for the rest of this fantastic historic event.

I'm curious... what station are my fellow DUers watching?

[Lex]

1. CSPAN is the best. No idiot talking heads. Live feeds on the crowds

and the events.

[EraOfResponsibility]

2. CSPAN

even though right now I'm watching CNN

[glowing]

3. I know that KO is on the train.. so I'm not sure where Chris and Rachel are?

Perhaps they are on the train as well. Maybe they will have specials this evening. CNN def. has more people to cover multiple events.

[aaaaaa5a]

7. I have MSNBC on split screen now...

David Schuster is now anchoring the coverage. I still don't understand why they don't have their "big guns" covering the event.(although I do like Schuster!) Olberman should be anchoring the coverage. Not stuck on the train! JMHO

9. "Stuck" on the train?

I would think Keith considers it an honor to be on the train.

[aaaaaa5a]

12. It is an unprecedented honor to be on the train!

But from a coverage standpoint, he belongs on the anchor desk. IMHO

4. Nancy Pfuffenhuffer

is on MSNBC now, so I switched it. Alternating between MSNBC and CNN.

5. David Schuster is on right now

Pat Buchanan was there this morning .

I will be watching MSNBC.

[Occam Bandage]

6. Home Shopping Network. Right now they're offering very tasteful Obama rugs.

[givemebackmycountry]

8. HBO

They are doing lot's of special stuff and you'll get to see all the music LIVE and in HD.
Check it out.

[aaaaaa5a]

11. I'll be watching HBO tomorrow before the football games start. nt

15. Despite reports to the contrary

The Comcast bastards in my area haven't unlocked the HBO signal yet. Maybe they will on Tuesday, but it wasn't there an hour or so ago.

Of course they never seem to participate in the so called "free weekends" for any of those pay channels either, since they moved them all into the upper regions of the digital channels.

[Muttocracy]

10. c-span.org or cnn.com stream. nt

[mt13]

13. C-SPAN

i am watching it online now. good stuff. i am watching online using livestation, they are showing the rally in Wilmington. before downloading that viewer, i was unable to view C-SPAN on my MAC.

[aaaaaa5a]

14. Who are the two people watching FOX news?

I refuse to watch them today. I didn't want a historic event spoiled with biased news coverage. But I am still curious as to how FOX is covering it.

An updated summary on the tone of their coverage would be great.

[DesertRat]

16. I'll watch whichever station is in HD. n/t

[mucifer]

17. cspan.org I don't have cable.

[leftyclimber]

18. HBO for the HD.

Otherwise I would watch it on C-SPAN. I'll probably flip back and forth between C-SPAN and HBO if the commentary is excessively dumb.

I have to Tivo the inauguration due to work constraints, so that will be all HBO.

[Life Long Dem]

19. I'm on CSPAN...

I feel pysched!.... it's feeling like the start of the Inauguration!

We're with you Mr. President-elect Barack Obama and Mr. Vice President-elect Joe Biden!

[Cash_thatswhatiwant]

20. CNN is better on special events than MSNBC imo. I am DVR'ing CNN for the rest of the celebrations.

They were better on election night also. MSNBC's election night kind of sucked imo. ABC was good with the commentary from Brazille and Stephanoplolis too imo.

CNNs commentary with Gergen and Soledad O'Brien and Roland and Anderson is more enjoyable

lol who voted for Fox???

[fortyfeetunder]

21. C-SPAN

No commercial interruptions, no talking head babbling. I had enough of Wolfie this last 16 months!

[flvegan]

22. BBC if they're covering it.

I'd rather listen to them than the usual cast of idiots in the MSM.

[Lucky 13]

23. MSNBC, flipping around, and the occasional stop at Fox News....

... to feast on their sorrow.

Bwhahahahahahaha

[WoodrowFan]

24. CSPAN! NO "commentators"! (nt)

[Jennicut]

25. Watching C-Span and CNN, going back and forth

I don't MSNBC. :(
