MASSIVE appreciation for C-span!

What a pleasure to watch the convention and listen to the speakers without pundits interrupting to explain what I'm perfectly capable of understanding without their help. Also don't miss having an awaited speech interrupted to share the latest fulmination from Comrade Trump.

THANK YOU, C-SPAN!

In addition to the absence of chatter and interruptions, I love hearing from the non-politicians. LOVE it. The people the networks have no time for. Sad, because that's where you really see why the nominee got to be the nominee in the first place. Like Jelani Freeman last night...blew me away.

they make folks angry. Sometimes they ask the most ridiculous questions about the most ridiculous topics so that they won't have to spend any time learning the details of important issues.
