Has Anyone Else Noticed on C-Span Recently, Today For Example

[bluebellbaby]

That their coverage ended abruptly on the Senate Committes dicussions of Health Care Reform...

I don't like to put my "tinfoil hat" on...but..

Now they have on C-span2 the Brookings Institution...

They did have on C-span earlier the Senate Committee on Health Care Reform only to stop it and cover the opening remarks in the House and C-span2 had on a replay of this mornings Washington Journal...

It appears that my "beloved" C-span is playing games...don't they want Americans to hear what's being discussed?

Am I the only one who's noticed this?

I must add this...at the beginning of the Senate meeting this morning there were protesters demanding that "single payer" options be included...they were "disrupting" the meeting...

1. I read there were a succession of Single-Payer advocates protesting

maybe they cut it

[SLSmith]

2. UMMM...They do have a firm schedule

CSPAN does have a firm pre-published schedule of what each channel will have daily. So I guess I am use to them abruptly changing content.

About the hearing - I just posted this video with Bernanke

NO CodePink: Bernanke's Security TIGHTER Than Peres @ AIPAC! Hello - Codepink can interrupt a speech with Musad all around but in a hall of democracy there ain't any protestors!

3. Thanks...I was just reviewing it online....

[bluebellbaby]

4. Their Schedule is anything but Firm

They were supposed to have Open Phones on starting at 1:25...but nope they went to a taped segment..

No one else seems to care???

5. You wouldn't be the first to call shenanigans on C-SPIN

There have been all sorts of peculiar things like that that people have called to attention...especially deep in the Bush/Cheney yrs

[bluebellbaby]

7. Good point...I'm getting sooo disgusted

We're being led by our noses...everywhere...

10. That and they will do fillers from Washington Journal while waiting for events to begin

They will often play parts of speeches, talks, or Washington Journal segments right up until something they are waiting for happens - like a late opening session in either house - but I haven't noticed any more than normal lately.

6. They are comitted to House activities first.

They will interrupt anything if there is anything going on on the house floor.

8. Yeah...and I Thought C-span2 was dedicated to the Senate

But things aren't "as they claim"...I was surprised the meeting was on C-span...

[immoderate]

9. Just the floor.

Anything else is, I guess, random.
