Candid Cameras in Congress

During the recent multiday battle over the next speaker of the House, media outlets were free to capture Congress members negotiating, debating, and even losing their cool.

The House of Representatives Recording Studio allows news cameras to show only whichever member is speaking and wide shots of the House floor. But during the recent multiday battle over the next speaker of the House, media outlets were free to capture members negotiating, debating, and even losing their cool, as Rep. Mike Rogers (R–Ala.) did when Rep. Matt Gaetz (R–Fla.) refused to support Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R–Calif.) for speaker. C-SPAN has asked McCarthy to continue allowing candid cameras going forward.

Google is by and by paying $27485 to $29658 consistently for taking a shot at the web from home. I have joined this action 2 months back and I have earned $31547 in my first month from this action. I can say my life is improved completely! Take a gander at it what I do…..

Great idea! What could possibly go wrong? You know, besides the fact that 99% of the media hacks who would be running the cameras are Socialists and would be sure to focus on Republicans picking their nose and Democrats making thoughtful grimaces.

[Elmer Fudd the CHUD]

Get rid of the socialists.

I would actually like to see more ‘free form’ coverage; it humanizes the process.

Jerryskids makes a great point: The temptation will be there to make one side or the other look bad.

Massie and MTG have proven the reps and senators are rarely in the chambers. The practice is for then yo stay in their offices or in committees while their aides attempt to use voice votes for legislation. Massie and MTG have a history of objecting and forcing members to rub to the chamber to actually vote.

[Commenter_XY]

I am good with that: forcing members to come to the floor and have a recorded vote of aye and nay.

Make it user controlled, like people log into a website and an automated lottery rolls to see which user IP address can control the camera for 2 minutes at a time.

[Rossami]

I like that idea with the qualifier that there would have to be a block list for all IP addresses coming from the congresscritters’ own offices.

Based on comments made on this forum over the past few years, just about every commentator would love to see live feed of AOC adjusting her bra straps.

[Dillinger]

assumedly she has a peasant I mean staffer do that for her.

[Elmer Fudd the CHUD]

Or go on the Bangbus.

McCarthy appears to be intent on being the ringmaster of a circus, so it seems appropriate enough.

Last month i managed to pull my first five figure paycheck ever!!! I’ve been working for this company online for 2 years now and i never been happier… They are paying me $95/per hour and the best thing is cause i am not that tech-savy, they only asked for basic understanding of internet and basic typing skill… It’s been an amazing experience working with them and i wanted to share this with you, because they are looking for new people to join their team now and i highly recommend to everyone to apply…

dammit nobody told me I could have insubordinates assaulted on the floor ~~ Pelosi

I’ll only support the move towards candid cameras if they also switch from the bar/well/desk/box/podium/bench arrangement to folding tables and chairs and ropes and turnbuckles, with an a-frame ladder for the speaker.

Edit: [crosses fingers that this is where it’s headed]

[NOYB2]

We need parabolic microphones:

OK, LOL’ed @3:22 when they called out “Danger Glands” from the podium and Lauren Boebert stood up.

[TheReEncogitationer]

Get The guys and bots from MST3K or RazzTrax to do the color commentary:

“Are those two guys doing the Heimlich Maneuver?”

“Would you like your taco hard or soft?”

“Get that gum outta your mouth! That’s not polite!”

“MOE! LARRY! THE CHEESE! MOE! LARRY! THE CHEESE! *RRRARF!* *RRRARF*

🙂

“hold on, my buddy Dr. Steve is a chiropractor …”

I like the guys who did ‘Juggernaut Bitch’ commentary.

R Mac….Humans are, well they are human. They make faces. They pick their noses. They shout. They cry. They smile. They laugh. Multiply that by X1000 considering the spoiled brats we have running around Congress. I think it would be highly entertaining.

It would be very obvious very quickly if the coverage were slanted one way or the other. The simple antidote is to make it all transparent.

[Vernon Depner]

“It would be very obvious…”

Which doesn’t mean the bias would be corrected.

[Super Scary]

“It would be very obvious very quickly if the coverage were slanted one way or the other.”

And anyone pointing it out would be dismissed as a conspiracy theorist/racist/chud. Sort of like the whole twitter banning deal.

[Commenter_XY]

I think the unique nature of CSPAN makes it much, much harder to entrench bias. Can you imagine the hue and cry of the congress-critters who are made to look bad – both sides of the aisle?

Just for that alone, it is worth it.

[Elmer Fudd the CHUD]

Dismissed for being a CHUD? NO ONE PUTS THIS CHUD IN A CORNER!!!!!!!!!
