The Only Channel On Your TV That Is Fair To Both Republicans And Democrats   Wednesday, February 13th, 2008

There are at least two C-Span channels on your cable television.  And they may be the only channels you receive - other than via satellite dish, perhaps - that are completely unbiased news.  There were just three back-to-back callers on the air on C-Span that gave amazing news insight that you probably wouldn't ever hear on your mainstream media news.

Actual live callers from all over the nation call in all day, and calls are aired in between live political events, no matter how "PC" or un-PC a caller's feedback may be...because, in truth, aren't all comments related to politics correct to the individual who wishes to express them?

A caller from Tennessee said, "If we can spend millions of dollars on [Presidential candidate] polls here...why can't we have a poll for Iraqi [citizens and civilians] asking them:  Do you want us there?...instead of posting polls about Senator John McCain who wants to [extend this war]?"

We're not kidding you, there were so many smart callers this morning, they all should have been running for office.

"People need to read the books," a female caller weighed in from New York.  "Barack Obama has four books...read the books, watch C-Span.  Educate [themselves].  And then they won't make ignorant statements like, 'He is a Muslim.'"  She paused, and then said "But I love you, America.  God Bless you."

We were listening very closely to a caller whose voice was wavering; she is a former mortgage company employee, she said, and all of the news articles about mortgage companies giving people a break and freezing loans, and television commercials about "buy this $350,000 house for $300" are terrible for individuals.

Subprime loans, she warned, become thousands of dollars of additional interest payments over the life a long term loan, and people who are signing up for them do not realize that they are no longer paying towards their principle.

They cut her off.  But not from bias - because she spoke too long, and they cut everyone off after a certain time limit.  Just because it was interesting to me, doesn't mean it'd be interesting to you.  No bias, no commentary, just smile as a brief, sweet goodbye.  They don't even warn:  just hit hang up/answer next call, and it's on to the next rainbowy, patriotic, dewdrop of concerned advice from the American public.

They cut to a live meeting at the U.S. House of Representatives, and Rep. Diane Watson (Democrat, Los Angeles, California) asks the House of Representatives to stop President George W. Bush and his administration from "continuing the status quo" with regard to the Iraq War and withholding information.  They have a lot of lessons to learn, she said, and they're not listening to anyone.

And freedom reigns.  Truth, and freedom, still reign.  It is literally thrilling to watch C-Span for us, after hearing a day's worth of biased news.  Especially their news segments, and their Senate votes - you get to hear from lower-scale politicians whose real hearts are bleeding over a huge scope of issues from AIDS to foreign relations to zygotes, and how things are ruled upon.  This could satisfy all of your reality TV sweet tooth...except it's really real!

Oh, and you'll hear people talking about Congressman Ron Paul, too, and former governor Mike Huckabee.  The two that receive the least coverage in the mass media.  They don't censor on C-Span.

So, I guess our question is...please tell us you C-Span?
