When did C-SPAN become wingnut central?

[CatWoman]

I confess I haven't watched in a while, but this morning there seems to be an invasion of Trump talking points.

[Dennis Donovan]

1. Did they have Russian accents?

15. They don't have to have Russian accents

The russkies put the words in the mouths of the wingnut C-SPAN callers after they were translated into (bad) English.

2. I generally like C-Span

Enjoy the history programs and Book TV. Their Facebook page is full of GOP responses to whatever poll or question of the day is, but I have never had an issue with their programing.

If it is an issue for you perhaps the channel needs to be changed?

[CatWoman]

5. I also have an issue with jerks, but here I am

Must be the sadist in me

[SoCalDem]

3. I noticed it after GW came to office

..never watch anynore

[CatWoman]

6. a large percentage of callers keep yelling the "witch hunt" mantra

[BarbaRosa]

4. It's been evolving for years now.

I've watched WJ for a long time and I'm finding it harder and harder to watch.

They sure give a lot of time to the foxtards now.

[katmondoo]

7. As far back as I can remember the callers have always been right wing

[beachbum bob]

12. they usually are unemployed and available to call in, we democrats are working to support them

[manor321]

8. About 15 years ago when I mostly stopped watching

It is right wing nut after right wing nut.

[CottonBear]

9. CSPAN spawned Chuck Todd. There's that.

I quit CSPAN Washington Journal because of Todd and the wingnut callers.

I’!! watch the House coverage and other events, though.

[CatWoman]

10. the things you learn on DU

I didn't know he used to work there

[CottonBear]

11. I remember when he debuted on cable news.

He revealed himself to be just another right wing media hack once he shrugged off the facade of being an “objective” CSPAN host.

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

13. Remember Brian Lamb's fascist Fridays on wj?

DUers gave him that name during the W years. And Lamb was rewarded with the President Medal of Freedom or some such award by W.

[blm]

14. Since Gingrich controlled congress in 95. Cspan NEVER recovered.

Fer chrissakes, they have given Moonie Washington Times propagandists more broadcast time than most legitimate news sources.
