. . just before I saw your post. C-SPAN is really the only way to stay sane.
No commentators, and they show the entire convention, without commercials or commentators talking over the speakers.

It's how I'm watching. I want to see for myself with no "help" from the pund-idiots.

I was mostly on cspan until the last hour of the convention. I wanted to see it in HD. Nothing but interviews with bernieorbust people after the speeches.

I'm done with them.

And then they wonder why their ratings are low.
