One America News OAN is a better choice to see Trumps appearances and entire convention.

Fox News - Same old story...

Deservedly so.
There is zero reason why every second of every speech could not have been shown with 20 hours of commentary following.
The constant interruptions were only to remind viewers that it was Tucker’s or Hannity’s time slot. It represented everything that is wrong with news today - the notion that the news personality and his/her take is more important than the story itself. It was not only bad TV, but shite TV.
I cringe to say this, but even CNN did a better job of covering the convention last night.

I’m about to give a compliment to CNN-
Their election coverage is just (gasp) better.
CNN is where I watched the 2016 returns, bc Fox’s shite was unbearable (except when they called Pennsylvania as Tucker Carlson was laughing his arse off and those RINOs were sitting there in total, stunned disbelief).

If you want to watch the entire convention (either party), watch C-SPAN.

I don’t really understand why they feel like they need to explain what was just said after every speaker. If they will shut the Hell up I’ll know what the speaker says and form my own opinion.

C-SPAN. No interruptions, no commercials.

In Fox's defense they will be called a propaganda arm of the RNC and what some on this board label CNN. Plus the equal showing law probably took in effect.
Some are quick to jump all over stations but they have to make profits and follow FCC guidelines.

That's why people watch news networks. As others have said, if you just want convention coverage with no commentary watch CSPAN or RSBN on youtube.

Yep - I didn't even try to look at any other source - and the phone in commentary afterwards was very encouraging - all GOP were enthusiastic and 3/4 DEMs said they were changing over to Trump this year.

So they are afraid of the left calling them the propaganda arm of the RNC? Wait you think cutting away from the convention will stop that from happening?
Don't be silly.
Don't make excuses for the corporate press.

They are getting slammed on Twitter!

Don't TV's have button's on the remote that allow one to change the channel? That's normally what I do if I don't like what I'm watching.

You know what the RNC speeches need? More flags in the background. I don’t think there were enough flags. They may not be patriotic enough for the True Believers.

Watched on CSPAN. NO INTERUPTIONS.
