  - You don't really believe that about CBC, do you? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 30, 15:13 3
    - CBC News is vastly more watchable and stomach-able than any American news network. - Beryllium Aug 30, 15:33

- you can read english versions of Prada, and lots of cable co's have al jazera, german tv -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 30, 14:41 13
  - Prada is what the devil wears.....Pravda - Danedukenuuk Aug 30, 15:37
  - If I had al jazeera or German TV, I wouldn't have said I didn't have foreign news on my tv. :P - loosilu Aug 30, 14:44 11
    - Actually, if I had Al Jazeera, it would be my default TV news network. What I saw from them was pretty good. -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 14:45 10
      - I was very disappointed to lose CBC Newsworld when Current.TV took over their slot. -- nm - Mop (220 lbs) Aug 30, 14:54 8
        
        I never got CBC but that would be awesome. -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 14:58 4
        
        I was about to suggest the CBC News streams, but they are probably region locked -- nm - Beryllium Aug 30, 14:59 3
        
        I want something on my TV. -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 15:02 2

      - for the most part this is true -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 30, 14:52
- Do you get BBC-America? They do an hour in the morning and an hour at night of US focused news. It's the first hour in their 3 hour newsblock. - Trish Aug 30, 14:39 1
  - I do. BBC news is interesting but they tend to be much more even handed than continental newscasts. -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 14:44
- Out PBS channel plays at least 3 newscasts from Europe. - con_carne Aug 30, 14:38 19
  - not mine. anyway, I specificaly want France. -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 14:45 17
    - with some cable systems and dish network, at least, you can pay for france 24 and another one, at least, the name for which is not coming to me. - b. Aug 30, 14:52 16
      - I'm in Arlington, VA, where we have a Comcast monopoly. they don't offer French. (unless it's a new thing). - loosilu Aug 30, 15:03 12
        
        I have comcast and they offer at least one channel in french and have for several years. anyway, sorry I tried to help! -- nm - b. Aug 30, 15:05 11
        
        I know, thanks for the help. THis is a peeve I have with comcast. We have Spanish, Hindi, Arabic, Tagalog, Korean, and other languages, - loosilu Aug 30, 15:08 10
        
        I just can't help myself. to a point. I stopped looking after finding this. nm but: -- (link) - b. Aug 30, 15:12 9
        
        I don't know where they got that but it's not on my TV. -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 15:13 3
        
        they may be subscription-only. the listings would give me hope they may be available where you are. - b. Aug 30, 15:16 2
        
        nope. oh well. But I did find Al Jazeera, which is cool. thanks! -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 15:16 1
        
        ...for about 30 minutes a day. Comcast sucks. -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 15:19
        
        now I'm stopping for reals: this was on the same screen.. nm but: -- (link) - b. Aug 30, 15:13 4
        
        oh, I see. Yeah, I get it. It's English. -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 15:15 2
        
        above you said you wanted france. I missed the france, only in french. -- nm - b. Aug 30, 15:18 1
        
        well, the language is most of it. :) need to stay in practice (which isn't easy). -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 15:19
        
        I don't have HD. -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 15:14
      - I just got the France 24 widget live video to load. It's an English broadcast, to boot. I also watch TVA in Canada sometimes. -- nm - Mop (220 lbs) Aug 30, 14:56 1
        
        they may have a french version, too. -- nm - b. Aug 30, 14:58
      - for im, not just some video, looks like they have live streaming. -- nm - b. Aug 30, 14:54
  - *Our* -- nm - con_carne Aug 30, 14:38
But seriously, how important is a hip to a wide receiver? -- nm - David Aug 30, 14:34 9
- Well, by the time the Cavemen finish the draft, a lot of WR will need hip replacements -- nm - amoxy Aug 30, 14:39
- I'm leaning towards making him keep it at this point. -- nm - samara Aug 30, 14:38 5
  - Seriously, I'm waiting to make my pick so I can go home. -- nm - Krusty Aug 30, 14:40 4
    - You should go home. -- nm - David Aug 30, 14:44 3
      - I think I will, I should be home in 20 minutes anyway. - Krusty Aug 30, 14:48 2
        
        You're fine but fwiw, Redmond just picked. -- nm - David Aug 30, 14:51 1
        
        Thanks. -- nm - Krusty Aug 30, 14:53
- And here I thought balls were caught with their hands. -- nm - budice Aug 30, 14:35 1
