Hands up! Who Else is a CSPAN Junkie? I am

[liveoaktx]

I want to watch the real thing. I like to hear Democrats speak up and expose Republicans. You CANNOT HEAR THAT on Corporate Media.

2. Sorry CSPAN is brutal...

It's kinda like having to watch the making of your favorite sausage before you eat it. No thanks!

8. Truth isn't always easy to swallow

But I like mine raw. And C-Span is the outlet that provides that.

3. My husband thinks I watch way too much of it, but I don't think so.....

I watch all day when I have the time. It is one of my favorite channels.

5. An Operatic: Me Me Me ME Meeeeee!

I love C-SPAN! And I just enjoyed watching Randi Rhodes systematically take apart the fundie and embarrassing her for Lying! :rofl:

7. How many have called and gotten through to CSPAN Journal...

and/or had their web message read on air?

[converted_democrat]

16. I've gotten on at least ten times. (call-in) I've never written a email

to the show. The only issue I've emailed them about is programming. I call in all the time, and it's hard to get on. I've sat for hours with my finger on the redial button, hitting it over and over until it rings.

17. I have a couple of times

it's best to call right at 7, other than that I don't get through.

9. I don't know if I'm a junkie but I do watch it a lot.

Mostly the Washington Journal segments. Right now one of Jeff's girlfriend is on and it's muted but I'll unmute it when the callers call in.

10. ME! I start with Washington Journal at 6:00 A.M. and

have my TV tuned to either C-SPAN 1 or C-SPAN 2 all day. The ONLY time I watch any other network is when something important is going on, like the hurricanes. I love being able to get real time info and form my OWN opinions. The MSM doesn't do that.

Where else can we find out what our USELESS politicians are doing? ;)

11. Yes ... and I am teaching my children to watch by replaying

really important things for them. My 13 year old daughter came home from school with an assignment where she had to write about a modern day patriot. She first wanted to right about me (what a great kid, huh?)... then I showed her the Dem's shouting "Shame" yesterday and it opened up a new conversation for us. Today, she watched Randi with me (and she often listens to her on the radio, so she was excited to put a face to the voice), and when the program was nearing an end, she said, "Mom, Randi is a patriot, right?". I think she might have found her subject for her paper all on her own!

12. I like Washington Journal

The call in shows are the best IMO. I also enjoy watching the hearings they cover without having some reicht wing idiot typing his opinion on a scroll across the bottom .

Ive been tuned in for maybe 10 yrs.

13. I watch CSpan's Washington Journal daily

and tune into the House and Senate occassionally. Book TV is fabulous most of the time. Count me as a Cspan junkie, since MSM isn't doing their job!

[emulatorloo]

14. Agreed - They only show Dems speaking out on CSPAN

Corporate media does not show Dems too much.

[La Coliniere]

15. CSPAN is my default channel,

but is more often than not my #1 choice for viewing pleasure (or pain). I'm especially partial to BookTV on CSPAN2 during the weekend.

18. My only problem with their 25 yr anniversary special

was that it seemed a bit unbalanced . I didnt see the entire thing but everytime I turned it on there was a Drudge or a Tony Blankley representing.
