CSPAN TV Censors Ron Paul at CPAC? (202) 737-3220

[Jobarra]

I'm listening to C-SPAN on XM Radio (XM132) and they're bringing the Ron Paul CPAC speech at 4:30. ...they just announced it.

I may have to find a reason to go driving around at 3:30CST. Only have XM in my car . Hoping that another streaming site will show it, but I highly doubt it.

I always had a respect for C-SPAN, I cannot believe it is doing the same thing!
Who owns C-SPAN?

No, I just talked to a guy name slade and he said they didn't have time to wait for Ron Paul, but they did have time to wait for McCain!!! CALL THEM!!

 

[humanic]

No, don't relax. Relaxing is what has allowed them to continue this bullshit for the past year.

 

[firebirdnation]

It rings for a while before they pick up.

 

[itshappening]

[firebirdnation]

No, don't relax. Relaxing is what has allowed them to continue this bullshit for the past year.

Agreed, and the arrogant SOB that answered the phone was like, that is right, we waited for McCain, but will not wait for Ron Paul!

Main Number: (202) 737-3220

I'm on the phone right now and that number has been ringing for the past 20 minutes. No operator, no voicemail.

Looks like C-SPAN is in on the blackout, EVEN THOUGH THEIR FUCKING HOST THIS MORNING SAID THEY WOULD BE COVERING IT.

Exactly, so they won't air it live, but they WILL wait and air McCains live! This is bullshit!

 

[justatrey]

Does this surprise anyone?

I was actually assuming it wouldn't be aired. I would have been shocked otherwise.

Good means they are busy, there seems to be only one guy answering phone, I don't think they get many calls!! Lets change that!

CSPAN TV Censors Ron Paul at CPAC

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The schedule for CSPAN TV today shows John McCain speaking to CPAC at 3pm, but fails to show Ron Paul speaking to CPAC at 4:30pm.

CSPAN is covering th American Conservative Union's (CPAC) Convention today live on CSPAN3. Complete coverage of CPAC is provided via the internet at cspan.org. However, only selected coverage is provided via TV. CSPAN's TV schedule shows John McCain speaking to CPAC at 3pm, but does not show Ron Paul, who is speaking to CPAC at 4:30pm.

When CSPAN was contacted by phone, they could not explain why John McCain is shown on the TV schedule, while Ron Paul is not. An unnamed CSPAN representative explained that while the CPAC event will be covered live, it will be interrupted if there is a congressional hearing, and therefore it could not be determined in advance whether or not Ron Paul will be interrupted. Again, they could not explain why John McCain is shown on the TV schedule speaking to CPAC at 3pm, but does not show Ron Paul, who is speaking to CPAC at 4:30pm.

They said they will be airing Paul's speech tonight ~9pm. There is a Senate vote that just started, so they can't interrupt it. I also suggested they put a link or info on Paul on c-span.org, and he said that is a good idea since they are receiving many calls about this.

Keep calling C-Span and ask why, and ask that they put a link on their front page to it since they did it for Romney and McCain.
