Hey! What about C-SPAN?

Amid the many politicians trying to make political hay out of the health care debate, C-SPAN's chief executive has stuck his neck out arguing that the negotiations should be televised, as President Obama promised. Here's the quote, from this story:
"Now that the process moves to the critical stage of reconciliation between the chambers, we respectfully request that you allow the public full access, through television, to legislation that will affect the lives of every single American..." -- Brian Lamb
You've got to respect the man for trying to get his shoe in when so many other interests are shouting for attention. I'm not really getting my hopes up, though.
Here's Politifact's story. The Obameter takes a swing, too.
