I would have to agree on pretty much everything that's been stated above except for the C-Span remark about being straight from the horse's mouth.
I fully understand what FL means by the comment, as in there is no third party to spin what you are witnessing, however, what you witness on C-Span is the most biased sack of outright lies and spin from all parties involved that it is the equivalent of watching the Olympics for professional politicians.
I put more trust in what I see on FAUX News than what I see on C-Spin.
At least FOX sprinkles a few nuggets of truth into their lies.

Real journalism died a slow and painful death a long time ago while the world stood by in apathy.
