Fuck CNN

I know I know more complaining about cable news but I watched their stream because that's what I had on and the immediate commentary afterwards was "that went on too long" and "Joe Biden is old"

and nothing pisses me off more than people LYING to my face.

3. I tuned into CNN after Joe finished speaking (watched the speech on CSPAN)

Five minutes of Jake Tapper and friends whining about how the night ran too long. No analysis at all of anything that Biden actually said. Switched over to MSNBC and at least they were actually talking about the speech.

6. They were certainly feeling sorry for themselves, having to work late.

Shall we say it reflected poorly on their professionalism?

To their credit, the folks on MSNBC thought it was a great and historic speech. They loved it.

CNN lost its way a long time ago.

plus I was late and was able to start from the beginning. C-Span.org: no fucking talking heads, no bullshit, just the Democratic Party taking the reigns of the future.

No login required. Right on the front page. Simply click to view.

No talking just the actual convention.

MSNBC made it EASY!

20. I wish I'd thought to watch it on C-Span. I had CNN on and when the bobble heads got going I got mad.

Turned to something else and fell asleep, missed Biden's speech.

The pukes they had on were lying about how no anti-abortion person wants total bans, and the other nut claiming that no one has done anything about inflation for three years. The CNN idiots just sitting there, nodding, letting it all go on as if it was true. So much for all that fact-checking, eh?

Fuck those bastards and their criminal bosses. Harris should raise corporate tax rates to 45% and enforce it. No excuses.

Maybe the headline should be "CNN Broadcasters Have No Stamina. Can't Keep Up With 81 Year Old President".

time like a party all week. Staying up late is kind of party like. And just like a concert the big names go last.

They just didn't want to stay up late for democrats.

Just checked and it's a replay.

No nonsense. Just the live stream.

Torture us optional! I avoid it whenever I can.

After a very few minutes of Secretary Clinton’s speech, they cut to a station break and then were nattering on and on. I missed most of it. CNN was carrying her, but I went to C-SPAN instead.
