"ON AMERICAN PERSPECTIVES
Freedom of Press & David Yeagley
Regrettably, we are not able to post the following event due to technical difficulties. We apologize for the inconvenience.
ON SATURDAY, MAY 28 AT 8PM ET"

What is the deal with this....I have been waiting all weekend for them to update their streamming videos so I could watch it tonight. I missed it the other day. Are they going to pretend it never happened!? Oh, thats right, C-Span doesnt believe in "memogate" either!!
:mad:

1. Read the Fine Print
From their website:

C-SPAN is a private, non-profit public service of the cable television industry. Even though the network’s programming covers the political process, it receives no funding from any government. C-SPAN earns its operating revenues through license fees paid by cable systems that offer the network to their customers.


And don't forget to check out the board: http://www.c-span.org/about/company/index.asp?code=BOARD

I wonder how many of these guys are republicans vs. democrats?

Click here

Scroll down, looking for picture of Al Franken laughing with other panelists.

Under the picture it says: Video Clips

Look for links:

Hearing, Part One
Hearing, Part Two
Hearing, Part Three

Right click on one of the links and select Save as...

And please preserve Conyers' bandwidth. Download one at a time.

It's great for those video clips you happen to miss.

EDIT: Keep clicking back into their archives for others like Franken, Avarosis (AmericaBlog), etc.

5. You can listen to almost all of it in audio files, read the statements
and see a lot of video clips. Links were posted throughout this thread as they became available, so look through it before selecting what you want to listen to, watch or read:
