39 years ago today, the #USSenate began televising its sessions, carried in their entirety by @cspan 2 as a #publicservice. It took 7 years after the #USHouse launched TV for senators to agree to camera coverage. ttps://www.c-span.org/liveEvent/?senate-on-tv.

Great sleuthing! 13 years later @BillAdairDuke tracks down “Brian from Michigan” to apologize for not responding truthfully to his question during C-SPAN’s @cspanwj call-in program via @CJR cc:@cspan

Thirteen years ago, I lied to a guy named Brian on national television. So I decided to find him and apologize.

Thank you @ktumulty for supporting the effort to get @cspan carried on @YouTubeTV and @hulu + Live TV. It’s long past time for these major video distributors to allow their customers access to their elected representatives. #publicservice #civicduty.
If you believe in transparent government, you need C-SPAN on @YouTubeTV and @hulu + Live TV📺. Read @ktumulty’s new @washingtonpost column — then tell YouTube TV and Hulu you want unfiltered access to democracy!. #AddCSPAN.
