Switched from CSPAN to NPR for 10 minutes and it's like being in an whole
other reality.

They're SO hostile: "It must be depressing for Carter to be reduced to this"..."Jennifer Granholm, it must be discouraging for Kerry to only be tied with the economy as bad as it is?"..."how can labor be enthused by such a moderate ticket?"

Man, it's so nice to not have your reality mediated by stupid people.

Back to CSPAN.

4. "How can labor be enthused by such a moderate ticket?"


CNN is telling us over and over what a liberal ticket this is.

The whores are so confused.


(I switched to C-SPAN at 8 o'clock when I realized they were covering the convention. I won't watch CNN again.)

I KNEW it would be like that on ANY other network.
For my money, Al Gore was GREAT and gave a rousing speech. Jimmy Carter pulled off some of the most gentlemanly ways of calling * the liar and inept clown that he is. Carter still brings tears to my eyes as to what a great man he has shown himself to be.

6. Carter was awesome on PBS. No one else had better interview him
He didn't back down like so many Dems do when asked "did you really mean to say that President Bush...." Carter's answer is always yes, I said what I meant and here is why. Just awesome!!!

8. NO offense, AP
But I'm surprised at the number of "old-timers" that even turned on to the news networks after having watched them for years. CSPAN is always the best place to go for live political events.

Always.
