Gotta ask...why did MSNBC talk over most of the roll call?

[Ken Burch]

Why couldn't they just let us hear people casting the votes?

[Iliyah]

1. Because they are a-holes

[Peacetrain]

2. My son was blowing his top over the same thing

Talked right over Iowa.. the one we wanted to hear!!

[NurseJackie]

3. Ugh! Sorry you had to endure that. I was on CSPAN... it was quite a treat.

Especially hearing all the corny but fun Board-of-Tourism pitches and the home-state/home-team bragging and pride.

[Hortensis]

15. Yes, I loved all the happy bragging. We watched CSPAN also.

I want the states polled at every convention. It's a very meaningful ceremony.

[Journeyman]

4. Don't know. I was watching C-SPAN. All I heard was the convention participants. . .

and nothing from the kibitzers in the back.

Gotta say it again: So long as you continue to watch, they'll have no incentive to change. They only understand money.

If you have to have analysis, find it after the event's over, and get it from those who have given their ideas considered thought. But why in the world does anyone need play-by-play for something being played out transparently before them? And who in world requires color commentary of something you can assess yourself?

[Warren DeMontague]

5. ...because they suck?

6. Turn cable news off!

Cable news is complete shite!

Livestream of the DNC is here:

Or there's C-SPAN.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

7. Watching C-Span was a real treat.

The roll call is my favorite part of nominating conventions and so I didn't want to hear bullshit from the Corporate Media. I'm hearing that even CNN did not talk over the roll call; they just cut to commercial when necessary.

[onecaliberal]

8. I watched on Cspan when I realized they weren't going to shut up

They think people tuned in to hear them.

[BooScout]

9. Because they suck....

I've been streaming it on YouTube. Much less stress that way.

[MerryBlooms]

10. The real question is why are you still watching that shit.

Day after day, people watch that shit channel and then run here to tell us how much they hate that shit channel. Here's a novel idea... TURN THAT SHIT OFF.
You're welcome.

[Ken Burch]

12. I was actually at somebody else's place and THEY had it on.

n/t.

[charlyvi]

11. When I saw Stein

I immediately switched to Cspan. My blood pressure thanked me.

[woolldog]

13. We live in a zero attention span society now.

[ismnotwasm]

14. That's why I watched it on YouTube

[SaschaHM]

16. They didn't want to cut back to Andrea Mitchell crying on the floor.

[stopbush]

17. I've been watching the live feed for the past two days.

Fuck MSNBC and CNN, their pundits and charts and countdowns and all the other bullshit they do to earn their bloated salaries. Fuck their false equivalancies their fucking horse races.

I don't need Rachel or Hewitt or some other talking head to interpret what I just saw with my own eyes and ears.

[liberal N proud]

18. These are people who like to hear themselves talk

[senseandsensibility]

19. Because they know that the viewers tune in solely to hear

their witty, informative commentary, of course. I mean, d'uh.....

[NCTraveler]

20. It's a known factor.

The only news to come out was known.

THE FIRST WOMAN NOMINATED BY A MAJOR PARTY!!!!

Seem people are celebrating that aspect just fine.

[Ken Burch]

21. The sad thing is, talking over the roll call drowned out a lot of the celebration.

Congratulations, by the way.

[NCTraveler]

22. Thank you.

I can't imagine how today could have gone better at the convention.

[Ken Burch]

24. ...well, maybe if one of the delegations had been "Rickrolled"...

...or if Trump's headpelt had been brought in on a pike...

[workinclasszero]

23. Because they are pompus jerks

The last two nights watch it on C-Span, a million times better!
