Re: US Election Open Thread (none / 1)

Last night's OT got very slow above 150 comments. It's achingly slow for me now.

I dread having to watch the BBC's ghastly hackneyed coverage tonight. Why can't I get MSNBC here ?

Re: US Election Open Thread (4.00 / 2)

You won't want MSNBC. Remember they stripped Keith and Tweety of the anchor chairs and gave the show to David Gregory, who's a total McCain hack. I actually liked Tweety and Keith's coverage. I don't know if I can stomach Gregory, so I may stick with Brian Williams tonight.

Yes, they will. Keith is paired with Tweety, Rachel with Pat, Gene Robinson thrown in somewhere in all likelihood.

Re: US Election Open Thread (4.00 / 2)

Before the advent of the Internet I would spend election nights flipping channels and yelling at the TV.

Screw the talking head MSM morons.

I'll be listening over the Internet to Pacifica Radio, most likely KPFK radio out of Los Angles, switching to NPR out of Iowa City, Iowa, and New York City when I get bored.

Re: US Election Open Thread (4.00 / 6)

I even recall in 1980 searching the SW radio band for some sort of live US election results commentary. The same with British results at the time. The fact that I can now learn real-time results from Leon county FLA and follow all the local elections anywhere in the planet pretty much, still amazes me.

I'll probably listen to KCRW after midnight Suomi time. iTunes talk radio channels are my favourites for lying in bed in luxury.
