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.

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.

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.

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)
