C-Span goes full rightwing?

Just checked C-Span to see if there were any Congressional sessions or hearings.

C-Span is showing DeSantis and McAleney at the Federalist Society meeting last week
C-Span2 is showing the RNC Winter Meeting from Friday

WTF?

... not full, but part-time, at least. They elevated "conservative" media, going way back. They would have a discussion with someone from the Washington Post and someone from something like the Washington Times, elevating the Loonies. They also seemed giddy over any "Clinton scandal" - I gave up on their original programming, but I do watch hearings and stuff.

I would say there is a definite right slant.

Lately there have been numerous programs disputing the book 1619 and it’s different perspective on American history. They have repeated them several times.

Another outlet for them to bring us the crazies. Many think it is a Government channel, but it is Cable.
