C-SPAN chooses what programs to air.

C-SPAN chooses what segments of The Call-in shows to re-air.

When Clinton was president every appearance in front of a microphone was shown repeatedly. This does not occur with President Bush.

When C-SPAN does show an event of President Bush's, they FREQUENTLY post TBA on their schedule so that it is not really possible to program a VCR.

To me, all of these decisions are a way of showing an opinion, without stating an opinion.

Do you know of any other time that C-SPAN has had a five part "prime time series?" I thought they showed the House and the Senate until adjournment each day with fill-ins of other meetings and speeches. I have only been a viewer and listener of C-SPAN for the past 3-4 years, so I would appreciate it if you could point out for me other 'series' they have done, that I am just not aware of.

You are correct about the TBA schedule and that is a good reason to sign-up for C-SPAN Alert! ...rto

PS: I am always alert for biased news coverage and even found fault with FoxNews when they hired Geraldo and Greta and have suspicions of O'Reilly. My primary news sources are c-span, freerepublic.com, Rush, Brit Hume in that order with daily reading of the NYTimes.com (stay abreast of progressive reporting;^) and occassional scanning of the other news networks
