CNN > MSNBC
I love ya' Chris and Keith, but there is no doubt about it, CNN has offered the best coverage of this convention.

3. But C-SPAN is the best of all.
No talking heads and bloviating pundits. You get to watch it all without being told what to think about it.

5. It's in HD!
I can't stand to watch SD anymore. I'm surprised MSNBC has slacked on converting to HD.

7. I watched them last nite for a little bit after Biden's speech - and they were praising him.
Yeah there were a couple of repugs that weren't.
But Wolfe, Ac, Boerger, Gergen were very complimentary.

I turned on msnbc and they were critical.

wtf?!

11. I really don't get MSNBC.
You'd think with their list of talking heads, they'd at least be decent, but no.

And it isn't just their bashing...they talk over and over and over again and it pisses me off.

13. I heard they have attacked Obama non-stop. Whenever I flip over
to CNN I hear Anderson making some snarky comment.

15. No. MSNBC > CNN
CNN has become soooo right wing! Yes, CSPAN is the best for no commentary, but you can't beat Rachel, and Keith and even Chris Matthews (who isn't as right wing as everyone here seems to think he is).

17. MSNBC has a high joke factor
