Couldn't make LA but here's the TV view. (Seattle Veteran)

I don't watch much TV, but here is what America saw from the couch tonight.

Not one network broke away from Clinton. He gave a good speach.

But after -- NBC viewers saw the police firing rubber bullets at thousands of kids who went to the concert.

CBS viewers were switched instantly to a show ominously called "Big Brother."

All networks cut the broadcast and quickly returned to commercial broadcasts upset the Clinton's had stolen a hour of free air-time.

I think we understand what prevents democracy these days. We don't have real news anymore. News has been sold off and killed so the airwaves can bring us commercial messages.

feeling a bit creeped out, how about you?

Love,

Winston Smith
