1. C-Spin? Really?
I've found CSPAN to be one of the only sources worth checking out.

4. Guess not.
But I'd guess it's not part of a conspiracy.

8. Never Said It Was.
It's just that tomorrow looks like Friday, if you know what I mean.

9. Well That's Good, But Remember The FAIR Study?

I saw a caller mention this to Brian once, and he was immediately cut off. This study might be a good thing to bring up the next time they have open phones.

" . . . Among the most striking findings:

Of the partisan guests, Republicans outnumbered Democrats nearly two to one (134 to 70). Not a single representative of a third party appeared during the study period.

People of color made up only 15 percent of Washington Journal's guestlist (100 out of 663). People of African and Asian heritage accounted for 4 percent each, while those of Middle Eastern and Latin American descent represented 3 percent each. No Native Americans were identifiable during the six months studied.

Male guests outnumbered women by four to one, at 80 percent to 20 percent. Moreover, 69 percent of guests were white males, while just 3 percent were women of color.

Journalists accounted for nearly a third of all guests (32 percent), the largest single occupational group on the guestlist. Of opinion journalists, 32 were right-of-center while only 19 were left-of-center.

Citizen-based organizations and public interest groups accounted for just 9 percent of total guests. . . . "

6. Tomrrow? How About Every Day???
Almost every day there's some right wing talking point that is a topic and some right wing "think tanker" or stenographer to put the spin to it.

C-SPAN, our gift of stealth...paid for by the large cable companies and corporate media...as a "public service". What a sham!!

7. That is what I think too
It sure looks like they pick up their topics from the RW echo machine.
And Brian Lamb on Fridays is pretty obvious.
