MORE C-SPAN Disappointment

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.

1. An unfortunate, momentary issue

They fixed it.

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.

2. Everything is a conspiracy theory....

Durbin was having audio problem the first five minutes of his speech. It was on all the channels and was then cleaned by the Senate technicians.

3. OKay - I can take off the tin foil hat

Just seemed like it would turn off any viewers if they thought the entire hearing was going to be like that. I saw where they fixed it. Right before Chuck Grassley (puke)
