Watching C-span has been a delight!

Seeing reporter tweets ... and I'm thinking ' what are they watching?????'
Not my reality at all.
They are choosing to be entirely negative....disunity stuff, angry Sanders supporters.

As my friend Jill says.... Someone lets a crooked fart, and it's a headline story!

C-span ! You can actually hear and enjoy the speeches. So proud to be a Democrat!

You can call them on their lies - it's why they cut speeches and push their agenda - then they tell you their version of that so and so said. The entire uninterrupted convention is on CSpan. Fugg the rest of them.

they are wall-to-wall focusing on any division. Constantly talking to Sanders backers.

C-SPAN is great when you get tired of the pundits babbling on endlessly.

Don't forget you can see each speech on demand at C-SPAN.org.

(I hear "Black Lives Matter" chants during Booker's speech. Poor timing in my opinion.)

after getting cable back in 1989. It's like day and night compared to network or cable news.

And the beauty is, CSPAN has an archive of all of their event and interview broadcasts going back to the early '80s upon their inception.
