The contrast is striking: CSPAN vs. CNN
I keep flipping back and forth..

CSPAN - Passion. Real, angry people. Democracy in action. Excitement. Real human emotions.

CNN - Subdued. Boring. Corporate pravda. RNC whores. Lots of "experts" who have no clue what they're talking about.

Gawd, I wish I was in NYC right now.

3. A real journalist would know that they are missing the stories
of a lifetime, stories that make it into the history books.

6. CSPAN rocks
I have been glued to this demonstration of democracy and peaceful decent on CSPAN since it began at noon. Looks like everyone is represented. I like that. Got to stay peaceful though. I watched the Dem. convention on CSPAN because I like to decide for myself what someone has said, I don't need it to be interpreted for me. I speak English!:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:
