Live MSNBC Audience makes watching annoying

[titaniumsalute]

OK I think CM was genius. He wasn't attacking but just shooting from the hip with his knowledge and heart. Amen brotha.

But does anyone find it very annoying when they are in front of a live crowd and you can't hear the hosts/announcers? I had to rewind three times to hear Andrea Mitchell.

1. Nope I'm pumped

I love seeing THAT crowd

[tallahasseedem]

2. No way, I LOVE it!

They're having a wonderful time and it shows! Look at the diversity compared to Tampa, it's amazing!

[tjdee]

20. I noticed that right off---all different colors, what a difference.

That's one thing I really love about Democrats.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

3. Maybe, but I'd rather watch a loud happy exuberant liberal crowd than the sullen angry

republican crowd we saw last week.

[DianaForRussFeingold]

6. Same here, I love it!!!

[titaniumsalute]

4. I love SEEING the crowd

But I can't hear the hosts? Or maybe I'm deaf and no one else is having problems.

[monmouth]

5. The fact you can't hear Greenspan would be a plus IMO..n/t

[fredamae]

7. Nah-They're just stoked

And it's nice to see some "Light Hearts" smiling and enjoying......well, everything... It's very different than the GOP convention mood.

[titaniumsalute]

9. I didnt watch one second of GOPuke week

[fredamae]

23. I had it on, but 98% of the

time it was on *mute*-Definitely had it down/recorded during the speeches-just wanted to hear what the "talking heads" had to say...sped right through the rest...I couldn't do it either...not in full anyway. Without sound on? The Body language/facial expressions were interesting.
I decided they were not going to say anything we haven't already heard and from what I can tell-that was a correct call

All snark and sarcasm aside: They're depressing to talk to, listen to and to be around...

[titaniumsalute]

25. The past 3 elections I watched the RNCs...and I swear I lost a few years off my life.

I decided this year I already knew the right wing meme...and between work and kids decided my time last week was well spent NOT watching the RNC or cable news coverage.

[fredamae]

32. Lol, I think you are a braver soul

than I am-I've got to admit-I've never watched the RNC's-This is the first time I've gotten even this close...I was actually more curious about how many people were there-mostly hoping for some popcorn time and was well rewarded w/Clint.
I had to rewind it after I read about here. All I could think is WTF? Did the Pres call him up and Thank him???

8. It can be annoying but it's also useful to hear the crowd's responses.

In that respect, it's good to rub the Republicans' noses in how excited the Democrats are.

[nolabear]

10. I utterly love it. I'm so tired of the rage and lies. I'm for cheering like crazy!

[titaniumsalute]

26. Rage and lies...yes I hate it to.

Cheering is good...not dissing the crowd. Maybe I'm old and can't hear the hosts.

[tjdee]

11. I LOVE this crowd!!!

They ramp up the energy. All the movements and waving I could do without, but it adds some life to what's going on.

I'm just starting today's Hardball and I'm loving it so far.

[sufrommich]

12. I'm actually thrilled that the audience is fired up

and ready to go. Hopefully that is a good omen. I will admit to this though,I can't understand Jesse Jackson when he speaks, it's like he's speaking a foreign language.

[randome]

13. Maybe that has something to do with his...um...'cheeks' problem?

I don't know what to call it. His cheeks are flabby. Not his jowls, though, right? What do flabby cheeks indicate? Anything other than age? I just don't think I've seen that before.

[titaniumsalute]

15. Like this?

[randome]

21. I don't know whether to laugh or throw away my chili!

Okay, both.

[sufrommich]

16. I don't know but I swear I used to be able to

understand him, now maybe 1 word out of 4.

[JaneyVee]

14. I love the crowd but their mics do need to be raised.

[titaniumsalute]

18. That's my point.

I'm not dissing the crowd...hell I'd be in the crowd if I were there. But I tuned in to hear some MSNBC News and couldn't hear it over the crowd.

[sufrommich]

17. I love this tweet:

Bill Talley?@Political_Bill

The Democrats' enthusiasm deficit is so stark I can barely hear Tweety over the crowd at the #DNC! #FORWARD



lol.

[Hutzpa]

19. Then don't watch...

why do you feel it necessary to let us into your pain.

[titaniumsalute]

22. What the FUCK are YOU talking about?

I make a comment about not being able to hear the hosts of a news program and you find me in PAIN? I worked in broadcasting for over 10 years (talk radio) and one thing I learned early on...make sure the mics are at a level the listening (in this case viewing) audience can hear.

[WI_DEM]

30. Don't worry some people just act like a-holes sometimes.

[randome]

24. It was a legitimate comment. Many of us noticed the same thing.

[titaniumsalute]

27. Thanks Randome. I was beginning to think I was nuts.

I love MSNBC and simply wanted to hear what was going on. Looking forward to this evening.

[Saturday]

28. All of the jumping up and down and noise is distracting. nt

31. Nothing Andrea Mitchell says

is worth rewinding to hear.

[spanone]

33. the reverend and joe biden are KICKING ASS.

[Tx4obama]

34. Couldn't hear anything Andrea Mitchell & her guest were saying earlier today - I switched to CNN nt
