Did MSNBC not broadcast Obama's sister's speech???
Edited on Mon Aug-25-08 08:19 PM by DeepModem Mom
Or did I miss it somehow? Did CNN broadcast it?

What are they covering, if not something like that speech? Their own talking heads? Their attempts to create strife, so they can call our Convention a "civil war"? Wackos outside the Pepsi Center?

ON EDIT: Thanks to all who responded in this thread with alternate sources of full Convention coverage. This coverage by cable networks -- "The Place for Politics"? -- is an outrage.

1. The streaming MSNBC.com feed had it, but I think I saw someone
mentioned the network didn't. She was really good.

7. You will not see any of the convention if you are watching the corporate talking heads.
that's their point. They don't want you to see it.

9. They and CNN are working hard to keep the fake "hillary supporters" story alive.
the real Hillary supporters are inside the Pepsi Center cheering their heads off with the rest of the democrats who are celebrating Obama!!

10. Nope. NOR JESSE JACKSON. When they say gavel to gavel coverage they dont mean the event! SUCKS.
We should complain too. I know we have cspan and such but if we let them keep getting away with this we're also in the wrong.

Gavel to gavel coverage should include all speeches!

12. They had some of it on BBC World
I'm going back and forth between CNN and BBC. Though BBC has less pundit crap.

13. No, they didn't show it.
They were too busy hammering Pelosi, Shumer and Carter with Clinton questions. :eyes:
