Any avid watchers of c-span?

I love watching c-span. In my opinion it's really the only spin free news source. Live coverage of debates. You get to see your representatives for who they really are, not what some blogger says abou them. Too many times these comentor's take a small portion of someone's speech and spin into into something that it's not. It's fascinating to sometimes see these politicians give brilliant speeches in front of an empty house. Also the comentary and questions from the people that call in is really great. They ask real questions.

There realy should be a channel for most government operations so you can see what they are really doing. For instance one thing I would like to see is a c-span type channel that covered every single presidential speech. On other stations you see like a minute long clip of him giving a speech but you rarely see full speeches by him.

The news channels should stick to reporting instead of commentary.
