A thing that bothers me about C-Span
On "Washington Journal," there are three call-in lines--Democrat, Republican, and Independent. What about the rest of us? It should be Democrat, Republican, and Other. By using the current designations, C-Span dismisses third parties.
This morning, the invitation to call was especially disturbing: The topic was post-election Iraq, and the invitation was: "Those who support Bush's war policies, call in on the Republican line...etc." The implication, of course, was that all Republicans support Bush's war policies, which they clearly do not.
