Watching MSNBC during the Dem convention? I don't think I will.

[monmouth]

If the last few segments covering the Dem convention are any indication of how they will be slanting and antagonizing the viewers, I'm thinking my local PBS or Current is the way to go. Chuck Todd is unwatchable for me, his smarm is disgusting. Maybe when Chris, Rachel and Rev. Al are on my mood will improve but daytime MSNBC will be off in my house.

1. C-span for me -

I like watching with no extraneous talking - just the cameras rolling.

2. D*mn right, they just stick some cameras up and let ya watch.....

Although sometimes they have "their" talking heads doing their thing, and then it becomes quite tedious.....just stick up the cameras and let US watch with no commentary.

[vademocrat]

5. Yes, between speeches they will have some "useful idiots" on -

or do the call ins with the craziest nutjobs they can find. That's when I'll change the channel or mute the sound. I love their coverage of the state of the union - cameras just roll while you watch everyone get seated, etc.

19. They are Span tastic.

3. It seems obvious that perhaps

Chuck Todd might be getting a little "side" money channeled his way..Every time he has a chance to get a dig in on Obama he takes it to the extreme..He interrupts or cuts off completely any Democratic spokesman he has on...He had the Repuke chairman this morning and he was pampering that guy and giving Democrats the "better off now than 4 years ago" speal..
And he just cant get over Chris Mathews calling out Preibus for all the lies from the Rmoney campaign..Nope..Todd just cant get over the fact that Mathews was correct but keeps on calling it an outburst...
....I agree with you about not watching..
The fact is all the lies and the scripted BS the networks are following backing up those lies is obviously part of their billion dollar plan to buy this election...

4. I'm tempted to e-mail MSNBC but who would I direct the mail to and what good would it do?..LOL..n/t

11. Todd is unwatchable and his slant is blatant. . . .n/t

18. Obviously Todd would give up all his freedoms and would fall in line with all the

other brainwashed Repukes just so he wont have to pay a little more in taxes..Shameful

6. I love Rachel too much not to

[Control-Z]

7. I'll watch

Just to get Rachel's commentary. Love her!

[cbayer]

8. I watched PBS (NewsHour) for the entire RNC and thought they did a great job.

Added bonus - no commercials.

Check it out.

[Onlooker]

9. They're generally pretty good ...

... and we need to nurture them. If they lose their liberal audience, all they'll do is spend more time catering to others.

12. MSNBC, well All of 'em

are off-I watch Bashir--then off until the good Rev Al---then off until Ed-Rachel and sometimes Lawrence--then Off....off-off.
I mute Todd if I see his "smiling face"....He spews nonsense.
Really, the "message" is the same-just worded differently depending upon who you watch and where you watch it.

There is no credibility left in MSM and when you think about it-Why are those who we "trust" still on these "news orgs"?
It's like a few of the "GOP candidates" like Johnson, Romer etc remain GOP whilst trying to convince us their different--When it's time to split, you divorce...not "stick it out" after you realize the relationship is no longer what it once was and the "party" has left you...

13. PBS should be better, I expect less "punditry" and no commercials.

[Sekhmets Daughter]

14. Chuck Todd

Believes his own press. He shouldn't.

[lunatica]

15. I enjoyed watching Rachel, Al Sharpton, Ed Schultz, etc during the GOP convention

Because I like that they're not pretending to be bipartisan or neutral. Yet they managed to be pretty objective in my opinion.

[Myrina]

16. Agreed, 100%

Current or CSPAN will be my channel of choice.

[littlewolf]

17. C span

I do not get MSNBC .....
basic cable ... 8 bucks a month ...

[DrDan]

20. I'll be watchin'

21. Current watcher here. n/t
