Are ratings calculated for C-Span?

[Longhorn]

I'd sure love to know how many people are watching gavel-to-gavel coverage on C-Span as opposed to cable news. Maybe the other organizations would realize they need to change the way they cover the conventions!

1. Informal Count...I am! So are my parents so that's 2 n/t

2. I am!

I wouldn't have it any other way. I don't need to jump to a talking head to tell me what I should feel about what I just witnessed. This is news the way it should be. Raw, unedited, and unfiltered.

3. I am too

I convinced my mom to watch it, although she told me she actually likes commentary (but then she said I was smart and she didn't follow politics like I did and couldn't afford to go without the commentary). So that's two more.

I don't need Bill O'Reilly talking over Jimmy Carter, or CNN tripping over itself to place Republicans on my TV screen.

4. Me too! I watch C-span 1, then took break and watch C-span2

and saw Clinton speak at the Le Madrid(Sp?)college, then back to C-Span1 to watch DNC... And there is no Chris Mathews mouth to have to hear.

8. Add yet another.

I NEVER watch Faux. And lately, CNN has been such a Faux wannabe that it's a channel I avoid accordingly. MSGOP has its obvious problems, but it is at least possible to cherry-pick their line-up for "alternative" viewpoints.

Still, C-SPAN is the way to go for unfiltered, gavel-to-gavel coverage of the DNC.

And for latest breaking news, there's no place like DU.
