The perils of minimal screening and no delay: "Washington Journal" gets bombarded with questions about Mitt Romney's penis:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/12/mitt-romney-penis-c-span-questions-prank-callers_n_1202524.html?ncid=edlinkusaolp00000009 Basically, C-SPAN's screening process (other than the separate lines for usually Democrats, Republicans and independents which doesn't always get followed) is that right before they take the call, they ask for where you're calling from and if you don't sound drunk or doped, you're put on hold to be on-air within seconds (the better to hold on long distance phone charges, even though they've gone down so much). The net says it has no intention of changing its screening policy and says that most calls are civil (even if in the nutcase category from both extremes). -- TV or Not TV ....
