2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI see a lot of threads about MSNBC having terrible coverage...
for which I can only ask...
WTF ARE YOU WATCHING IT FOR?
C-SPAN is the answer, and PBS is close behind.

(8,168 posts)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.

(5,271 posts)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.

(1,184 posts)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.

(90,828 posts)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.

(17,143 posts)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.
