C-SPAN 40 Years: Your Unfiltered View of Government

In 1979, a small network with an unusual name rolled out a big idea: Let viewers make up their own minds. C-SPAN opened the doors to Washington policy making, providing gavel-to-gavel coverage of the U.S. Congress without editing, commentary or analysis. A lot has changed in 40 years, but that original big idea is more relevant than ever. Underpinning this impartial, balanced coverage is the fact that no government or taxpayer dollars support C-SPAN, as we have always been funded as a public service by your cable or satellite provider.

Thank you C-Span, and the beautiful people that make you happen. Your input to our daily lives is critical in these times of peril and deceit. Thank you.

I wish CSPAN WAS Just live on youtube as much as possible. I'd watch it all day!

[dougiejones]

Thank you Brian Lamb for your vision and giving us C-SPAN :)

Let those of us without a cable TV provider see live House and Senate proceedings. Don't cut us off because we're not forking out money to a cable or satellite company!

Thanks C-SPAN

I have always had great respect for C-SPAN a great look into what is going on without the bias of mainstream corporate media.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you C-Span. I love you so much. You are journalism

[yoloswaggins]

C-span kicks ass.

Also thanks for providing a platform for countless hilarious prank calls.

You need to change the title to “Your filtered view of government” and then you would be accurately describing C-Span’s YouTube channel.

CSpan is the real GOAT. Thank you for everything you guys do.

C-SPAN has been a Pay-TV Commercial Channel since 2014. They should be taxed as such.

[sshiva]

C-SPAN should livestream like RT, RT Britain, and RT America does.

[LukeRDavis]

They need investigative journalism documentaries like Frontline.

The problem the cameras have created, Is that the Politicians use the cameras to Showboat and Play Political Theatre at the Publics expense and Loss.
I would still like to see the debates, however, when our elected representatives abuse the cameras and use them to get their Narrative across, then they should be turned off, this would take the Theatre away from them.

[shadowraith]

I doubt there's any non--partisan news anymore. Words are cheap.

[TheAZwoodie]

why is it saying that the c-span video is block in my country (the USA) by NBC

[turboaram]

So unfiltered that most of your videos are less than 10 min soundbites. Practice what you preach and actually show the full story. If you want to make money than help change the political system for the better. I honestly had a good impression of C-SPAN until they started acting like other MSM

[RedRoverZ]

I don't think that you (cspan) can claim to be unfiltered or unbiased. Just Look At The Videos You Choose To upload...shame on you

[kennygoldberg]

I talk about C-SPAN 1, C-SPAN 2, C-SPAN 3 ! ! !

[TROllingNINJA]

AP and C-SPAN are my goto networks for fact checking other news from Fox to TYT
