Jesus Christ on a cracker! Why the FUCK does CSPAN invite the Heritage Foundation to spew BULLSHIT?

3. You answered your own question.

To spew bullshit.

4. I can see CNBC, since they're about as Republican, if not moreso, than Faux.

CNBC regularly has these spectacled hacks on from Heritage and Cato on their channel to provide the "counterpoint" (i.e. spew canned right wing talking points) whenever they have moderates on their channel. I say "moderates" because a progressive wouldn't even be allowed in the building.

But CSPAN? Then again, are we surprised? They did cover the 9/12 Footshooter Parade from stem to stern, moreso than they covered any anti-war demonstration. They frequently let the most ass-idiotic wingdings callers whenever call-in segments are aired. So maybe it's just a matter of time before Scaritage comes on with regularity.

5. Unlike Faux they also have left wing organizations on n/t

7. CSPIN Is A Wholely Owned Subsidiary Of The AEI & HF

I can't think of a day where they don't bring on one of these whores (male & female) or someone from the Washington slimes. Remember, CPSIN is corporately funded...not a "public service" like they pretend. They were set up by rushpublicans in the 80's who gave Gingrich a forum anytime he wanted to spew his bile and have been a conduit for right wing talking points.

Also, IRC CSPIN is located in the same building with the AEI...no doubt Skully and Brian Lamb are welcome visitors.

8. They have air time to fill, and the Spin Tanks generously provide them with "experts"...

...with which to fill it.

9. CSPAN LOVES William Kristol and the Neocons.. can't get enough..
