Sunday Political shows

Do you watch them? If so, which ones? You can vote multiple in the poll.

weekends are for entertainment. I watch more news shows during the week after work rather than on the weekends.

i don't watch any. we have partially cut the cord, though i still have access on my computer if i want. generally, i do a blank google news search for top stories.

I usually watch youtube clips of all the shows. That way I can skip over the portions where politicians are interviewed. Whenever a national politician is interviewed, it just becomes a bashing session of the other side and I don't learn anything. And then the part that makes me nauseous is when a politician tells us "what the American people want" - gag me!

My favorite segments are when historians or journalists participate in roundtable discussions. That's when the learning happens. I really miss the McLaughlin Group, by the way

Nothing since Tim Russert.

None. Listening to slime/smear/deflect/distract sessions got old for me a long time ago. Sometimes my wife puts them on and I put up with overhearing it, but sit and watch? Forget it.

I do miss having C-SPAN on the radio. They would run the audio of all of the shows without commercials. I listened to that in the car occasionally, but no C-SPAN here.

I watch the Sunday Scrum on CBC News Network.

Oddly, I don't watch any. I do, however, spend far too much time watching cable news, which gives more than my fill of the usual congresscritters spouting self-serving nonsense on a daily basis. I don't want to watch a solid hour on their pontifications.

Let me know if Corey Booker is ever scheduled; him, I'd watch!

I watch almost no TV, GOTH (Before that Mad Men) and sometimes I sit down with the wife for what ever she has on. This former CABLE NEWS JUNKIE never watches news or opinion shows, the day I was watching the Twin Towers crash was the first day I had the news on in ages. The last opinion show I watched was Charley Rose, maybe up till 08 I dont really remember. The only time I was a fan of the Sunday shows was back in the 70's for a few years.

I stopped because I just dont have that kind of time to waste....very little bang for the buck unless one is obsessed with the speakers, and I am not, I care about the ideas.

Cut the cable years ago, don't watch anything.
