and then when they started talking over it, I found it on one of the C-Span stations. It was a very good speech, aimed directly at young people. She told why she was drawn to public service and the people who influenced her on that path. The crowd was very enthusiastic (but I doubt the media would acknowledge that).

Edit to clarify: Talking about Hillary's speech this morning... not Trump

I've known many journalists and they have much longer memories. They didn't like being punched by Donald Trump.

Let the pushback continue!

But when the MSM covers a live campaign speech from trump, I turn the channel, immediately.
Like I said not sure it makes a rating difference, but it makes me feel better.

I don't know for sure, but I think that cable, satellite, and whatever you call att u-verse (and the like) tv can and do track channels being watched (or at least channels that are "on&quot . I mean, technologically, that's quite possible and probably quite typical from a marketing perspective (not that I like it).

Anyone know anything about this?

Anyway, I also change the channel away from dt for that reason and also because sight or sound of him makes me cringe.

Thanks --
