There has been a very slight -but enormous- change in C-span's Washington Journal
The hosts of Washington Journal are now challenging guests when they say something that is a clear out and out lie - even Greta called a Republican on an inaccurate statement. I noticed it a couple of times earlier in the week, where the host made slight corrections to misstatements, but this morning Greta, responding to a lie by Greg Walden (R-OR) who said that the final HCR bill would be concocted in a secrete room out of the sight of the public. Greta corrected him several minutes later saying that C-Span would indeed cover the writing of the final bill and that the place where it would be done wasn't secrete, that C-Span had cameras in that room since 1992.

They, the C-Span hosts, never used to make any corrections at all but there have been many callers who have complained about it. Its its good to see the complaints had some effect.

PS: Lilly is getting better.
