Earlier today, CSPAN was broadcasting from
the opening session of the WTO. I stepped
away for a few moments, and when I returned,
they were playing old clips from the Iranian
hostage situation.
Now they are playing other clips from Jimmy
Carter's administration!
What happened?
If you go to the CPAN home page,
http://www.c-span.org/
they are still listing:
WTO Opening Meeting
UN Sec. Gen. Annan
Sec. of State Albright, others
LIVE on C-SPAN - Starting Shortly
What the heck is going on?
Jay.
