Why? So the American people can’t see lawmakers cosplay?

I checked out YouTube TV a few days ago….but I did indeed see no CSPAN so no subscription.

MAGA doesn’t want the public to know what they are doing in Congress & Big Tech is happy to accommodate.

We switched to You Tube TV years ago. Very frustrating that they don't have C-Span.

Exactly right.

Truth is definitely not on their menu.

Policymakers seem to take kindly to unchecked selfishness pretty much every day.

if i would not have already cancelled Hulu and Youtube months ago, this would be the reason i definitely would cancel. no one needs more political theater and also pay for it.

“Policymakers maker will not kindly to unchecked shelflshness” unless it’s their own or that of their donors.

It's supposed to be free to everyone, but there is no CSPAN without cable. I want it on Hulu. I know, it doesn't make $$$.

I am so sick of big tech.

Also, it’s just wrong. C-SPAN is the way people can watch their government in action with no spin. It should be available on all streaming systems. Everyone needs to be able to hold their government accountable.
