I didn't know that Brian Lamb is President and CEO of C-SPAN |
|
I've seen him a million times but, because he comes across as genteel and thoughtful, I'd never have pegged him as its head.
He founded C-SPAN.
Thank you, Brian!! Where would we be without it?

I used to love them too but lately I don't even like them. I no longer TiVo them. Ken Adelman is conducting a show this weekend. Not sure if it's a one time shot kind of thing or if he's a regular now on Sunday nights. When I saw the commercial today, my heart sank. I thought "Oh no! Not you too".
We have no where to go. I watch NO news on TV now. I listen to AAR all day. I record radio shows and listen to them at night. At least when I'm not watching TCM that is. I missed part of RR today so after I finish listening to Mike, I'll listen to RR the rest of the night. THEN, 6 AM I start with Morning Sedition and go from there. Surprisingly, I'm not bored. I enjoy it really.

3. C-Span just shows what happened and then lets people call in |
|
No "professionals" spinning the facts.

5. knowing the story of c-span, lamb is a hell of a guy. |
|
c-span has been the most important thing in american politics over the last 25 years, bar none. no one, no one thing has had a more profound affect, and its because of brian lamb.
