Because Joe (dead intern) the Scab man and Pat the racist homophobic bigot is on there with Rachel and Keith.

Pat Buchanan arguing "Pelosi/Reid" Congress will be crap for America.... etc etc.

BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And commercials.

BBC news is SO REFRESHING.... objective opinions... very simple... explains a lot about how America votes, what electoral college is, etc. Kind of simple for Americans, but no crap from Joe and Pat, at least.

10. Well, I'm sorry I can't give you BBC News live link............
But you might Google it

I think they don't do web stream, but I have channel 107 on Verizon Fios TV...best thing I ever paid for $99 a month for phone, internet and 200 channels.

4. Yeah, but Keith is keeping them in line and Tweety is tonight's
Edited on Tue Nov-04-08 05:18 PM by hlthe2b
rational voice... Yes, Tweety! (I think his blood sugar has gotten back under control, since this has been a more recent trend)


I love BBC, but tonight, I think I want someone who's passion has mirrored mine, so I'm likely to stay with KO.



Of course, I'm looking desperately for a Brit, Canuck, or European to adopt me if things go incredibly wrong, but I know they are with us! And, damn, if we haven't done everything possible to deliver.

12. CNN is always excellent during actual results
MSNBC is clown central. In the aftermath and analysis late tonight, I'll take a glimpse at MSNBC.

7. Thought I'd put this out there...
but Directv is using channel 352 for election coverage, offering eight different channels on one screen including ABC, CBS, FAUX, NBC, CNN, FAUX NEWS, MSNBC, and BBC AMERICA. I'll probably go back and forth, only going to faux news if Insanity's head starts swelling. Explosions aren't the same without the sound effects. Thanks.

16. Why deal with racist homophobic people on a commercial network?
Those people are SO YESTERDAY!

You waste time listening to Pat B...........and commercials........BBC....rather naive, but very analytical, and no offensive homophobes racists....and rich vapid idiot fools like David Gregory.
