Lately, I've been shutting C-Span off after the first half hour.

For every ten or fifteen conservative guests, they have a liberal. I don't know what happened. They've always leaned to the right, but for the past six months or so, they don't just lean. They've fallen there. What's really infuriating to me is when a caller comments on it and the host (whoever it may be) makes it sound ridiculous and not worthy of his/her time.

1. C-span?

Washington Journal? Not sure what "it" is. The Republican lovefest Brian Lamb had on yesterday was digusting. Never heard so many drinkers of the "Stupid Juice" in a row in my life. Thought I was listening to Hannity or Limpballs

2. MUST be the span...

anyone who is truly addicted
turns it on at 6 a.m.
after the first 1/2 hour, here come the guests

this morning, it was impossible to watch Victoria Toensing
smirk and grin her way through the Plame spin

ugh

4. Good article, Dinger.

When I think about why C-Span tilts to the right, I think about who funds them. They're always proud to tell us that they're supported by the cable companies. I haven't done any actual research on this, but I'll take a stab in the dark and say that the cable companies must be owned by wealthy white guys. Then I think "Who would wealthy white guys be most likely to support; liberals or conservatives"? These are just suppositions but I think I'm on the right track.
