Lemme guess...the Repug convention will be broadcast on network TV
Right? Or at least on more than PBS and C-Span, right? Fox, maybe?


The events which transpire tonight will be spun into "evil liberalism" by the major networks and the Cable newswhores for the masses who don't even know what PBS stands for. Right?


If I'm wrong....can you blame me for expecting this?

1. I predict the same - though CSPAN is carrying ours
You think CNN and FOX are going to miss out on that big scrotum licking opportunity?

2. CBS/NBC/ABC will only give one hour a night to each party.
They are not going to cover the Rethugz 24/7.

4. No? Methinks they've been doing just that for years.
Oh, wait, you said "cover," not "cover FOR." Whoops.

6. Do you play baseball Johnny?
Kidding - I still have a doubtful eye cast on this. I mean, how hard would it be for the networks to change their minds and then we look whiny when we cal them on it?

10. My god....it's like I'm looking into a mirror.
The corporate news media is like an older brother who dangles loogies in your face and punches you if you don't swallow them.

Big (Abusive Older) Brother.

11. Does your mother still hang around in dockside bars?
I agree - that's why I turned off the cable and got rid of the TV - I ain't havin' it!

12. I still got my TV for PBS and MST 3K tapes.
And I'm almost choked up seeing Clinton on TV again, giving a speech, just like he did back in the mid-90's. Did any of us realize then that we were living in a golden age? I certainly didn't.

But, ah....it's only on PBS. And the average American male thinks of PBS as the "liberal fagg*t channel." That's what a southern co-worker of mine called it.
