Should CSPAN should gets its funding revoked?
 
If CSPAN is going to just edit what they think the American People
should know about, then we need another cable news channel dedicated
only to the cameras and audio of the US Congress, and they should
include the date, not just the time in the video feeds?

Why is CSPAN allowed to editorialize content? Should we demand
members of the Republican Congress to tackle this?


Should senior citizens who know how to tweak technology to rip the
audio from video recordings into .mp3 files that they can listen to be
concerned that CSPAN is not covering the live reading of bills and
amendments in Congress - and that CSPAN is an active partner by
promoting potential corruption in government by covering another
corrupt government program, the Census?

Why, Democrats (D for Dream Killer) don't want you to know what are in
the bills? Hows that hope and change from an elected liar working for
ya?

If you don't fill out your Census form, Acorn thugs will come to your
house? When states already hold databases full of eligible voters,
why are citizens told to support a program rife for opportunities of
corruption instead of relying on the verified (anyone can lie on the
Census) government data bases that actually are more accurate and
already paid for?

The first area of opportunity for corruption in the Census,
determining who to send the forms to. The second opportunity for
corruption in the Census, what workers "discover" when they go roaming
the neighbourhoods, and the numbers are large enough that relying on
databases that are already paid for, is but another signal the Chinese
and any other potential foreign investor in the United States that
this Congress has no interest in the financial solvency of their
nation?

Fulfillment of the "enumeration" requirement could be accomplished
with great accuracy by simply counting verified identities of citizens
by "enumerating" valid state identification records (which will
automatically have performed the sorting out of primary residence
identification problems).

I HOPE you don't think that C-Span gets ANY government funding. They are
100% funded by America's Cable Companies.

They do include the date in the video feeds. It is up in the corner
and says "today," "last Wednesday", etc.

C-SPAN is not government funded. It is paid for by the cable
providers. And you certainly should know that because they tell you
EVERY DAY where the money comes from.

Should senior citizens who know how to tweak technology to rip the
audio from video recordings into .mp3 files that they can listen to be
concerned that CSPAN is not covering the live reading of bills and
amendments in Congress - �and that CSPAN is an active partner by

If C-SPAN doesn't show you something, it is because they can't show it
to you. They would show every second if they could. They can't.

Maybe...I think you need to watch C-SPAN more because all this info is
available either on TV and or online.

Uh, date requires numbers?

No, Congress funds CSPAN by demanding that cable companies pay for it,
and if Congress is going to do that, then why should they get funding
if they are going to editorialize like CNN or MSNBC?

There is no law requiring anyone to fund C/SPAN

You're full of crap. Congress didn't demand anything. This is from
Wikipedia on how C-SPAN started. It was that guy Brian Lamb:

C-SPAN (pronounced /si.sp�n/, see-span), an abbreviation of Cable-
Satellite Public Affairs Network, is an American cable television
network owned and operated by the cable industry. It airs non-stop
coverage of government proceedings and public affairs programming. C-
SPAN does not accept outside advertising; the only commercials aired
are for its own programming and products.

C-SPAN operates three television channels, one radio station and
several websites that provide streaming media including archives of
many C-SPAN programs.

History
Brian Lamb, C-SPAN's chairman and CEO, conceived of C-SPAN while
working at Cablevision, a cable industry trade magazine, as their
Washington D.C. bureau chief. C-SPAN was created as a cable-industry
financed, non-profit network for televising sessions of the U.S.
Congress and other public affairs event and policy discussions. Bob
Rosencrans, a cable industry pioneer, was alone in providing the
initial seed funding of $25,000 to start up C-SPAN.[1] It receives no
funding from any government source, has no contract with the
government, and does not sell sponsorships or advertising. It strives
for neutrality and a lack of bias in its public affairs programming.

Maybe...so there is no funding to get revoked.

Hmmm! Bacon as God! Brings a whole new potential menu to
Communion. (Does red wine go well with a BLT?)

IMHO I wouldn't tell the Jews about this, though.
