  • RNC Uncoverage

    From Mike Powell@1:2320/105 to AARON THOMAS on Fri Jul 19 09:11:00 2024
    I wanted to watch the last day of the RNC national convention, but it really isn't available to the public.

    Do you have cable? FOX Business was carrying it with fewer commentator interruptions. IIRC, either MSNBC or one of the CNNs may have also been.

    Best place I found to watch it was the Forbes youtube channel. They had a
    live video and sound stream with NO commentator interruptions.

    If you don't have cable or access to the internet then, yes, your choices
    were quite limited.

    No, but thanks for these suggestions. I ended up watching Fox News' livestream of it (on the web) and they did it right. Unlike ABC News's no-audio-just-video coverage :)

    Well there's your problem. Fox News, by its own admission, *isn't*.

    There's no such thing as a reputable news channel anymore. But Fox News livestreamed what they said they would livestream and that was nice of them.

    Fox News isn't even a news channel, let alone a reputable one.

    Ya, it's long been exposed as controlled opposition.

    Opposition, yes, but I dunno about "controlled".
