Cable subscriptions pay for c-span. It would make sense that those that pay for the service be the only ones granted access to the service. Most anything C-Span shows, you can find streaming anywhere else.

so i have to buy 500 spanish channels and loose my eye on congress ?

they weren't showing anyting important / behind scenes etc anyway

fx co gov is "running" (stealing) THIRTEEN gov channels. what's on ? blank screens , ethnic religious stuff , democrat stuff - mostly blank screens.

school bus budget ? my ass those people throw money at themselves

but again: fx co gov (rather herndon?) had a council camera. but you watched and found out they began avoiding the camera and showing only petty stuff

years ago when i watched it was clear: democrats OK any spending measure that comes before they contrived, but cause problems with any citizen needing approval for a business change

and if you put a camera on it: they will just take their business elsewhere ! duh !

c-span says on their mission statement that it is a "public service"
And for years they didn't require a cable subscription login to view anything
and their coverage of most events involves cheap chinese made cameras that a lot of times are unviewable anyways
just more of the usual suspect fascorporate greedassednessedness

maybe cspan hada monopoly on the channel and tried a rake hike and lost the bid?

no one beleives any polititians promise - they always lie

why would anyone tune into CSPAN and expect anything they hear is news ?

You left out a key part of the mission statement - "created by the American Cable Television Industry."

Well, you do now.

OP, how stupid are you? I mean really, have you ever done a self-assessment?

They're always talking about how they were created by cable television operators. Not over the air television operators.

From the website: C-SPAN is a public service created by the American Cable Television Industry

How much a loser would you have to be to watch CSPAN? Might as well just go to the zoo and visit the primate cage. More intelligent, honest creatures you'd see.

Summary
OP Teatard rant. Subject is irrelevant. Something changed and he is upset. People all chime in. More Teatards chime and claim moral superiority. It will end when the Teatards decide it is Obama's fault.
They leave happy know they are still superior to black president (in their minds)


Repeat maybe 200 times a day.

Things have gone downhill at cspan since brian lamb stopped hosting washington journal imo. At least he got Mason to host their Book Notes collection. Washington Journal really has a liberal bent now.
