In reply to watching the Prez....., posted by Jai Narayan on May 25, 2004, at 8:52:08
I totally agree with you. We should all have the choice to either watch the pres's speech or to turn to other programming.
I guess what bugs me the most is that I think we should all have the *opportunity* to hear what the president is saying, to have hearings open to the public, to have a *transparent* political system so we can best make our voting decisions. And I know most of the nation has cable and could have watched him on CNN if they wanted to. But I also know a lot of people, particularly lower-income people, still have rabbit ears on their TV and rely on public TV to get their information.
