Has Cspan gone completely over to the dark side?
I juast tuned in to Neal Boortz hosting the Media Research Center's dishonors awards, featuring what he refers to as Obamagasms. This is not fair and balanced. This is major, lunatic-right suckage. Our cable payments help pay for this crap, and Comcast gets a tax write-off for their contribution.

1. C Span tends to be very RW oriented.
The very second that Obama got elected, since there would no longer be any coverage of RW-er George W spouting off, or Rumsfeld giving a speech to the troops, or Condi talking about our efforts to spread democracy throughout the world, they started covering every asinine RW group under the sun.

If there is a chapter of "RW rock collectors" within thirty miles of Washington DC, they will cover the segment of the rock collector group that is spouting off about the need to end Government entitlements.

And they have covered RW events like the Heritage Fountation's people's assessment statements for decades.

2. If C-Span did not cover RW events...
Edited on Tue May-31-11 02:16 PM by SDuderstadt
how in the world would we be able to keep detailed tabs on what the RW is doing?

Think big picture.

6. They fell apart completely after Gingrich "win" in '94? -- Now Heritage broadcasting ...
They've never recovered and Brian Lamb seems to have either taken off his

mask or completely surrendered to the right wing --

That's my opinion --

8. It may be Shock Doctrine.
Each act unique.

Money remains the doctrine that powers the shock
and the practioners remain thieves by any other name.
