  • RNC Uncoverage

    From Aaron Thomas@1:342/201 to All on Thursday, July 18, 2024 17:28:32
    I wanted to watch the last day of the RNC national convention, but it really isn't available to the public.

    I tried ABC News Live, but they're just showing video footage, not audio. The audio is muted while leftist reptilians from ABC News are speaking. And they're giving themselves credit for "Coverage of the RNC national convention."

    I also tried PBS News, and their "coverage" is hilarious too! Their microphone video footage looks like it's being recorded on a home video camera that was bought at Walmart. And the audio sounds like it's a mile away from the stage.

    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".
