Foo Fighters at convention only on C-span

Best place to watch is-span. You hear all speakers with no commercials and no predictable stale talking heads talking over important speakers. We ail know their opinions, who cares what they say. Always the same stupid questions. The speakers are the real show. IMO.

MSNBC. No talking heads, although they do come in briefly before the "big" speeches.

They've talked a little but mostly just to say things like "that was the Foofighters," or "here comes Gabby Giffords." I'm actually amazed that they are showing all of it like this.
