I know people will disagree with me, but I think CSPAN is as close as you can get to bias-free political coverage. No one else gives you so much of the thing itself, unedited.

You are mistaken, I have watched C-Span since Nov 2000
Since that time, especially since the 2004 election C-Span has made no secret of the fact they are anti Republican.
If you listen to the questions on Washington Journal they are always in lock step with the latest New York Times garble.
Also, C-Span used to show speakers like Brent Bozell, David Horiwitz, Ann Coulter & other top name Conservatives.
My husband and I have kept a sort of tally on C Span programming. Since Nov 2004 its about 80% liberal 10% "moderate" and 10% Conservative. Another change in Cspan is they now screen callers. I have gotten through as a caller more than 7 times. However, the screener asked me what question I was going to ask before she allowed me on the air. I was always polite & had valid questions, but, if my question was too hard hitting the C-Span screener simply hung up on me. C-Span has changed horribly since 2000 & its gone left, mark my words.
