Is CSPAN a voicebox for Bush?
Washington Journal is beginning to look that way...Callers are all going on about how terrible John Kerry is, then they go to a Bush campaign rally.
I feel sick.

"Thank you for CSpan, the liberal media does NOT show what's really happening in this country. Ah firmly believe that you cain't negotiate with terrists and amd glad we have a Christian in the Wot House. Thank Kew."

5. CSPAN also showed full coverage of
the major peace marches, and it was the only station to show the protestors at Bush's inauguration.

It shows whatever there is unedited and without commentary, including gavel to gavel coverage of both party conventions.

Inevitably, it will show something that makes you angry, but I'm willing to take the occasional wingnut commentary for the privilege of watching the entire Democratic convention without idiotic commentators.

By the way, from what I have heard of the callers, they sound exactly like the callers that I used to get volunteering for a radio station, the cranky elderly people who have nothing to do but sit around all day and obsess about things. (They used to call and complain that the music was too fast, that the announcer had gone three minutes overtime, that nobody had called to tell them of a change in the program schedule, etc.)
