I have CSPAN on hold and they are telling me that the house leadership owns the cameras and will not turn them on. Those cameras were paid for by U.S. taxpayers, not the House "leadership."
They belong to us, so TURN THEM ON!
I thought CSpan was jointly owned by all cable companies, in order to keep Americans apprised of what's going on when Congress is in session. They consider it their Public Service Programming. But the majority decides when the House is in session, or not. When Nancy and the Democrat adjourned, the cameras were shut off.
What confuses me is that I remember when Republicans would present speeches to a House that was almost empty, but the cameras would record them. Was that when the Republicans were in the majority, or was it during a regular session of Congress that hadn't been adjourned?
