Has Cspan quit even pretending to be non-partisan?
Every time I turn it on there's some republican, teabagger or libertarian holding forth. Do they now own the place?

1. Brian Lamb has always been a right wing conservative
He was able to get away with not being overtly partisan back when the rest of the media actually did their jobs. Now that "mainstream media" is pretty much all right wing pandering 24/7 (outside of 3 hours a day on MSNBC) he no longer has a reason to pretend to be different.

2. They own that and all the news blog comment sections.
They're an abomination.

3. I'm thinking so.
Righty Friday seems to happen several days a week now.

4. BookTV on the weekends often has whole days devoted
to books from right wing propaganda mills.
