Not sure who is commentating on channel 7, but I switched stations after hearing derisive remarks about 'a scorecard' and 'a show.' No class, no professional integrity.

Channel 5 has been pretty decent. Their anchors and on-scene reporters stepped on each other a few times, but it was pretty decent coverage until they went to the pool cameras inside the basilica.

Everyone else has gone back to original programming. Channel 5 continues to broadcast the entourage heading to Hanscom. There are still thousands lining 128 and 2A in the rain.

No talking heads filling up space with insipid comments, just televised coverage of the service.

When you switch from C-Span to one of the local stations, it seems like an intrusion to listen to the chatter instead of drinking in this event on its own terms.

My TV was on mute for most of it. When a reporter on the scene can see less than I can by watching TV, I don't want to hear what they have to say.

Which channel had the best Chappaquiddick jokes?

I think you're looking for the comment thread on bostonherald.com?

That would be MSNBC with Joe Scarborough, Pat Buchanan and Jon Meacham but only because Fox News ran their regularly scheduled programming. Actually, I don't know what Fox News programmed but I'm sure you would have appreciated the bipartisan/thinly veiled right-wingers ...on Morning Joe.
