A reason why I like CSPAN:

It's given me a better opportunity to hear progressive voices with Southern accents call in to to speak out over injustice in America

More powah to you, brothers and sisters

1. C-SPAN is great but Book-TV has become

little more than an extension of the AmericanEnterprise Institute and other RW talking points.

2. how so?

Book-TV is the best thing on CSPAN. They have a nice mix of guests and regularly bring on many incredibly intelligent historians and the like. I love their coverage of the framers as well.

As for their normal non-Congressional coverage, they do tend to show more AEI and similar right-wing think tank press events, but I feel this is more due to there being more right-wing think tanks than left-wing ones.

My only real beef with CSPAN is they still have "fascist fridays" on WJ. I was really hoping they would balance that out at some point, but it has yet to happen. I just don't watch WJ on Fridays anymore.

3. the last few months have been overwhelmingly reichwing.
