I had errands so I missed the hearing. I recorded it, but had missed the opening statement so I was watching the re-play. I don't know if it is just my TV, but the audio is terrible, it cuts out every 5 seconds while Durbin is giving his opening statement. It makes it un-watchable.
I can't help but wonder if it is purposely, (Durbin is talking about our long history of Slavery). C-SPAN seems to favor the right wing these days.

I believe in C-SPAN. I used to wish it were owned by Public Television instead of the cable industry. Now, they stream online for free and while the streams aren't perfect, at least I don't have to have a cable subscription to access this vital public service.
