Or if you have to watch TV, then watch C-Span and try to figure out what the heck they’re talking about on the floors of the House and Senate. That said, there seems to be more civility on the Senate floor. (C-Span2)
So you watch Fox and listen to Rush and then come here to see if anyone repeats what you’ve heard?
Of course the most exciting time to watch C-Span is on Sunday nights (I think this is still the case, haven’t watched in a while) because that’s when they show the British parliament, which is much more exciting because they’re allowed to insult each other on the floor. I personally think they should show the South Korean parliament occasionally though, 'cause that seems to occasionally devolve into a brawl. I bet if the American senators and congressment had a good rumble every once in awhile a lot more people would be interested in politics.
Hey, I used to watch Glen Beck regularly. I have trouble sleeping often so sometimes I’d be up around 3 in the morning when they used to rerun his show on weekdays. It was the most entertaining thing on at that hour (though I don’t think he intended it to be funny, though for me it was better than Comedy Central), certainly more amusing than bowflex infomercials and whatnot. So I was POed when he lost his show; what am I gonna watch when i can’t sleep on a wednesday night?
Senators and Representatives are generally not allowed to speak in the second person. I’ll have to listen carefully next time I watch Parliament, that is, when they’re not throwing pies at those they’re interrogating.
I think I watched a total of one of Glenn Beck’s shows if you accumulate the amount of time I spent listening to bits and pieces of it. Same for his radio show, the longest bit I ever listened to on there was when he had the comedian that does all the impersonations really well on it.Hey, I used to watch Glen Beck regularly.

Well, maybe if the liberals stopped getting their talking points from HuffPo, the Democratic Underground, and Moveon.org, and listened to actual news instead, then maybe the political discourse in this country would be more civil.
I don’t have cable and I am at work while Rush is on the radio.
:whacky:
You forgot Rachel Maddow and Jon Stewart.
Here are some buzz words I hear from the left:
If you get your news from jon Stewart, you have bigger problems than civil discourse.
But, he is funny. Did you see the post-Iowa-straw-poll he did about the media ignoring Ron Paul? It was funny…and sad in it’s accuracy.If you get your news from jon Stewart, you have bigger problems than civil discourse.
:thumbsup:I think I may have been the first person on these forums to post the link to Stewart’s coverage of the media’s lack of coverage…
Perhaps, you were. It was about Ron Paul, so no one noticed it.
