2. I'm waiting for CSpan. Already had to turn off CNN/MSNBC because of all
this corporate media b/s about "no win, they're out" coverage of Obama and Edwards. Where do you get BBC America coverage?

4. on comcast but i'm sure other cable/dish companies offer it.
Their news coverage is so much better, it's actual reporting.

10. i don't if it's extended or not, the broadcast is an hour long and that may be it
but it's a quality hour as opposed to the shit that passes for media we have here.

How true. Well, as someone else said, there's C-SPAN and Young Turks...
...on Brave New Films' stream.

NGU.

will have to watch it streamed.

12. I like to watch the MSM to try and understand how people respond to it
I don't watch it frequently but I tune in a day or two before the election.
