Happy Anniversary, C-SPAN
Congressional Surveillance, Policing Activity Network turns 25 today

As many other athenaetors will attest, Congressional surveillance network C-SPAN is one of the most important news resources in America today, for its ubiquity in covering government proceedings, polisci and nonfiction book releases. Its unblinking eye is one of the truly independent and unbiased media sources, in an age where supposedly-independent public broadcasting networks have more spin than a tilt-a-whirl. Reason magazine has listed C-SPAN founder Brian Lamb among its 35 Heroes of Freedom, and to mark today's august occasion, they have republished an interview with Mr. Lamb recorded in 1996.
