Dish Showing No Favoritism in Politics

[tigerfan33]

I checked my guide this morning and I see that ch.211 will turn into the Republican National Convention next week.

I guess Charlie is just like ALL big money people. Making sure not to piss off either party. Will never know which one to call when you need a favor.

Do we know if it will be in HD? Palin will look even more gorgeous in HD

Palin should've been Miss Alaska!

Palin is a known contributor to the spread of global warming.

She's smoking.

It does not mean she will not fool around--I hope she shows off her attributes

She reminds me of the teacher in the Van Halen video back in the 80's, "Hot For Teacher"

I bet Slick Willy is trying to get her numnber.

You gotta give McCain props. Between his wife and his VP, if he wins, the White House will be full of nice looking ladies.

Wow covering the D and R conventions what a shocker! BTY--Voom DBS did the exact same thing back in the day.

Charlie knows the game, FCC, FTC etc and makes sure to give each their props.
They're one in the same party anyway, all Beltway insiders, protecting the their turf.
This coverage is C-Span on steroids. Yawn.

Contrary to the thread's title, Dish is playing favorites with the status quo or the parties of the politics as usual. However, it would news to see the LP and Bob Barr.

I can't wait to see the posts that gives credit to teh "Fairness Doctrin" for this.

Thanks E* for giving us the RNC in HD.
I'll be watching.

I'm glad they uplinked it this morning! Regardless of your party this is cool to watch. In HD! The DNC feed was cleaner than all the major networks coverage, OTA or satellite, I did a PIP comparison and swapped, it's interesting to see the variation in rebroadcast quality.

Gonna be tough to go after her on a few issues... no pun intended.

The RNC will NOT be in HD on Dish as there is no HD Pool feed available for them to pull the content from.

Its not a Democrats -vs- Republican thing here Dish really wanted to carry both in HD. For whatever reason the RNC is not having an HD pool feed.

Hmm... doesn't sound like a very intelligent design for 2008.
