Hey Susan from CSpin
If you claim that CSpan is educational, you might explain to the viewing public how you remain silent while scumbags like Hensarling keep on repeating Democrat instead of Democratic ad nauseum?

Your corporate owners love that don't they?
Fugg you Susan. :puke:

1. As long as SHE says 'Democratic' who gives a shit?
Not really the moderators place to make those kinds of corrections, it would make her look biased in the other direction.

Save your fuggs for Hensarling or whoever.

2. And Ruin Their Illusions
I swear, watching C-SPIN these days, you'd think the GOOP was either still in charge or was actually relevant. If it's not this little pissant (and if there was a walking, talking example of one, it's little Jebbie)...then its some AEI sockpuppet or a article out of the Moonie Times.

Susan sure doesn't look like she's had much sleep...I get a feeling these days the "hosts" are the ones who draw the short straw.

:hi:

George Will now - he gets one hour.
Would DUers raise some money and buy this man a new rug!

7. I Used To Have Respect For Will...
In the 80s and 90s he actually had coherent arguments...a youngish Raygun. These days he's, like the "Raygun legacy" is a joke. Seems like he's spending as much time trying to prove he's a "conservative" than debating. He's not wingnutty enough for the flying monkeys and seems adrift..and truely clueless.

This guy typifies the beltway mindset...provincial, self absorbed and no matter how wrong they are, they still can count on a nice, fat paycheck.

You'd think he'd be able to afford a better rug...

:rofl:

3. It is not the place of C-Span to correct or change anything a guest says
If the guest wants to act like a fool on TV C-Span is there to let them do it. It is not the place of any host on C-Span to interject themselves into the conversation in any way. Now I know it happens from time to time and of course it is infuriating to see and hear some of the asswipes they have on the programs, but overall there is nothing that even approaches C-Span for fair and unadulterated coverage.

4. I agree with you. Her bias is very evident. Her allowing the guests to spew
terms like 'Democrat party' hurts C-Span and perpetuates the dumbing down of America.

6. I have a distinct memory of her at one of bush*s last...
press club dinners televised on c-span. She was at a large table close to the stage and when bush* was introduced, she leaped to her feet, nearly knocking her chair over, clapping so hard I thought her hands were going to be blistered. She was one of the last people in the audience to finally sit down.

8. When have CSpan hosts ever challenged their interviewees?
Your scorn is misplaced. They never confront their guests or callers, regardless of party or content.
