they have a 5 minute period of grabbing dunces who remained on the floor to whine and suddenly the entire night was awful.

It's just politics.

... And she's helping Bernie make the case for Hillary ... even as the MSNBC shill tries to make it an issue.

MSNBC has turned to total unprofessional crap

In contrast, CNN is currently interviewing Al Franken and Sarah Silverman. CNN has provided very positive coverage, using many intelligent Democrats commenting after the Sanders speech.

Many Americans will take in the convention passively, and I think it's important to be aware of what the vast majority of voters watch.

The frustration toward news outlets that capitalize on engineering conflict is based, I believe, in the fact that it is far more influential than C-Span or any on-line stream. Anyone who is still undecided between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton at this point is an idiot and unlikely to be the kind of person who takes that extra step to find independent coverage. So it's fair for people to express outrage at MSNBC or any other major network that doesn't paint a full picture, because the rest of us are affected by it.

Early watching on CNN and MSNBC left me literally shaking with anger and nearly in tears. When I switched channels I realized how much of that was simply shit-stirring by "reporters." The booing of BoBs was still audible.

I did record CNN, so I'll review the coverage and go from there.

I tuned in to YouTube- just straight camera at the speakers, and around the audience. I will watch YouTube's coverage for the rest of the convention.

You can also watch the entire YouTube coverage here: https://www.youtube.com/user/DemConvention

I just watched Al and Sarah again- it's better the third time.
