PBS coverage blows

[Charlie Chapulin]

What a disappointment. Chose to blather instead of showing Jasmine Crockett and Raphael Warnock.
Instead we got David Brooks poo pooing this convention.
Might make me rethink the size of my donations.

1. I watched it on CPAC on my phone

And had the tv tuned to MSNBC with audio off and clos captions on.

I didn't want to hear talking heads. I listened to all the speakers. Really great to hear them. Best convention in my 7 decades.

2. David Brooks can jump.

His critique of the President's speech was disgusting.

[Chakaconcarne]

3. David Brooks closing on Bidens speech

WHAT A BLOODY FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT PRICK MOTHERFUCKER!!!

[SocialDemocrat61]

13. He has been for decades

[NNadir]

4. CSPAN, CSPAN, CSPAN!

[RussBLib]

9. I was impressed with CSPAN

...they must have had many cameras all over the arena. When a video showed, they went full-screen.

Didn't turn on MSNBC, Fox or CNN at all.

[Wednesdays]

5. Consider that PBS relies on viewers' donations

And the bigger donors tend to have more money.

Guess which political party that represents?

6. Streamed from demconvention.com onto the TV.

Not one talking head.

11. Ha, you put your post in while I was typing mine It was really good, wasn't it? nt

[The Unmitigated Gall]

14. The silence was exquisite!

Sooo done with chatterheads telling me what I’m seeing. F them.

7. tomorrow night, go to You Tube and use the DNC official channel. Best coverage ever

Perfect. No talking heads. No commercials. Every single speaker.

Tonight's session will be on You Tube tomorrow and probably for years to come.

8. I stopped donating ANYTHING to PBS and NPR after the 2016 election cycle.

That money now goes directly to Democratic campaigns, mostly here in Wisconsin.

[iemanja]

10. That's why I turned the channel

They were talking during Shawn Fain's speech, so I turned away.

[Enter stage left]

12. I agree, their coverage was terrible. I finally went to ABC, much better.

[Charlie Chapulin]

19. Likewise, abc.

They actually were showing the speakers. Even the women speaking about their abortion experiences on night 1.
Watched abc again night 2, though I did switch back to pbs for their end summary. Saw they were all pretty much in awe of the Obamas. Even David Brookes.

[Zoomie1986]

16. I stopped giving to them when Dianne Rehm and

Barbara Haggerty spent day after day trashing Kerry. Haggerty was also an infamous propagandist for some evangelical hate cult who never missed a chance to hate on liberals and atheists.

Not no but hell no would I ever give them another dime after that.

[FlyingPiggy]

17. David Brooks is unwatchable. For years. Right up there w Andrea Mitchell 🤢🤮

I watched it on Amazon prime and it was great. It was just the convention. No commentary.

[elocs]

18. Wouldn't it be easier to tell us whose coverage doesn't blow?

I pretty sure that Brooks is supposed to be giving his opinion from the Republican or at least conservative perspective. I think you expect too much from him if you're looking for a Democratic cheerleader. If I were a Republican I would generally be disappointed in Brooks' perspective from the conservative point of view.

[Charlie Chapulin]

20. Good point

[LiberaBlueDem]

21. PBS

Gets big money from big spenders

They will not bite the hands that feed them
