I tuned into CSPAN 3 to watch the Live Stream video of the House single payer hearing. When the hearing had to temporarily adjourn for members to cast 3 votes on the House floor CSPAN 3 inserted a video of Betsy McCaughey, PhD. of the conservative Manhattan Institute speaking about the evils of single payer. When CSPAN 3 retuned to the single payer hearing, the hearing was already in progress. What kind of coverage is this? Of course the video of the hearing is up now without Betsy McCaughey, PhD. of the conservative Manhattan Institute. Kind of like it never happened, but it did and I have the video to prove it. It appears to me CSPAN 3 has taken sides on this issue and what they did is very questionable. Dennis Kucinich kind of evened things out when set Dr. David Gratzer, Manhattan Institute Senior Fellow, straight during the hearing and that video is below, if CSPAN 3 doesn't make me take it down. The video of Dennis Kucinich is after the hump.
The Health, Employment, Labor, and Pensions Subcommittee of the House Education & Labor Committee will hold a hearing titled “Examining the Single Payer Health Care Option” this Wednesday, June 10th at 10:30 am at the 2175 Rayburn House Office Building, Washington, D.C. Will C-SPAN cover it or cover it up? My guess is they won't televise it unless they receive thousands of calls, so give them a call at (202) 737-3220 and tell them what you think.
