The old 3 networks have the worst news and political coverage and since MSNBC is part of NBC Universal, it is just as bad. However and although not popular here, CNN is slightly better than those are. * * *

I've been surprised at the caliber of the RNC speakers.....Have enjoyed almost all of them! Condi was simply wonderful, and don't know how Ryan could have been any better.....Seeing them on CSpan uninterrupted has been a most appreciated treat! Now that so many good bloggers have been pointing out the shortcomings (multi, I might add) of the regular old media, including the Alpha ABC,NBC,CBS, etc.... we are now not only able to hear more of the actual happenings without the Leftist filter, but now we are able to have some of their out and out lies corrected and attention to those lies highlighted for all to see that will see..... Some won't of course, but more will than before.... America AND Americans win when we have more accurate reporting and commentary, that's for sure!
