Why is C-Span giving this no-name weirdo a platform to bash Michael Moore?

[Beelzebud]

Kevin Leffler, as far as I can see, has never worked on any films. Now he has a movie titled "Shooting Micheal Moore", and he gets an hour on C-Span to spew his bullshit?

The film has no distributor, isn't available for sale, and is just a lame attempt to smear Michael Moore.

It's just unbelievable that they give this shit a platform.

1. they do it because they favor republicans..

and anyone who has a bone to pick with a liberal is always welcome at c-spam.. (not a typo)

Hours on end are devoted to the ridiculous ramblings of the heritage harridans, the cato clowns, and any other wingnut organization.

bookTV is MOSTLY occupied by right wingers who ooze hate from every pore..

They gave the guy who planned the Anti-Clinton Library, MORE than a couple of hours..

4. I was wondering the same thing. I'd LOVE to see Michael Moore

debate this guy like the guy said he would. Sometimes I don't know what's happened to CSPAN.......

6. What happened to C-span was the Newt Gringrich "Revolution" . . .

and the then all the years of the totally controlled Republican Congress + Presidency --

When Newt hit, C-span was planning to go out with C-span 3 --
Now I can't even get C-span 2 on my cable TV -- !!!!

C-span is a product of the cable companies, anyway --
so you have to expect a conservative bias --

However, in the beginning of C-span 2 . . . it was really rather fair at showing liberal programs -- it was the one place where you could actually see females who weren't showing their tits or selling something!!!!


The right-wing takeover, seriously moved C-span to the right --

The reason -- FEAR



Our carrier COMCAST worked very hard to limit C-span 2/The Senate --
They also changed all the channel lineups just before the 2004 election!!!!
And more than a year ago they took C-span 2 away --
THEY DON'T WANT THE PUBLIC TO SEE THE SENATE -- AT ALL!!!!

The reason they gave was that C-span 2 was being moved to a higher tier of service to be broadcast in "high definition" -- like that matters to anyone interested in the Senate -- !!!!

It doesn't cost anymore -- but you have to get cable guy in to give you a new box and hook-up and you have to rent the box for something under $5 month.

Not so believable --

2. "Balance."

A film that can barely be called a film "balances" an award-winning documentary producer's latest blockbuster.

:crazy:

11. John Cage...Cool

3. It never fails........

Anytime someone on the "left" speaks up for ordinary people,out pops a rightwing nut freak to rip them to shreds. Why can't people have a right to voice an opinion and not be trashed for it? Free country my ass. There always seems to be some freeper with a Neanderthal mentality just waiting to pounce on anyone with a rational point of view. I hate those idiots.:argh:

[NotGivingUp]

5. propaganda 24/7 on all channels. n/t

[defendandprotect]

7. Air America is seriously less useful with Green's takeover --

They put some right-wing clown on in the mornings -- so I don't listen anymore

And they have Hartmann . . . who's not as good as the guy who was there before him --

and Hartmann does strange right-wing things . . . like putting CATO people on!!!???

I listen only if I have to --

Randi Rhodes goes now only to 6 pm at night -- though I think that was true before Green.

We really need her --

And, there are many times when I can't get thru on the internet to pick up the station - !!!!

The 1600 station is very weak --

10. Hartmann does not do strange right-wing things..

He sometimes has RW asswipes on his show to let them spew their idiotic nonsense, after which he shreds them with the truth. I find it entertaining.

8. I tried calling Washington Journal a few times and

got through twice. Both times I was questioned about my party affiliation and the nature of my comment. Both times, upon learning that I'm a Democrat and my comment was going to be very unfavorable toward the chimp, I was put on hold and then eventually hung up on.

Wingnuts seem to have no such problem. They're put on one after the other and allowed free reign to spout irrational hate. Dems who do get through are cut off almost immediately .Just another example of the "liberal" media.

9. Great question!

We should be writing CSpan and asking that same question! :grr:
