C-Span - What is wrong with this picture?

I was looking for some Obama campaign news and thought to look on CSpan's website; reading their wiki entry it says:
".. C-SPAN was created as a cable-industry financed, , non-profit for televising sessions of the US Congress. It receives no funding from any government source, has no contract with the government, and does not sell sponsorships or advertising. It strives for neutrality a lack of bias its public affairs programming..."

Here's what I saw under their link Featured Topics/Campaign 2008!
This is the top half of their page:



And here's the bottom half:



Can you tell me what's wrong?

There's not a SINGLE current Obama event or ad featured on the CSPAN site claiming to cover Campaign 2008! Either CSPAN is slipshod or does it have a dog in this fight?

Guess Obama should rightfully be in the Bahama's 'cos he's creaming HRC - but I was sure he was still beating the pavements of TX and OH!

I went over to his site and here's what I find!


Obama campaign could you please lend some of your event tapes to CSPAN????

Crazeee!



Obama in Somali garb looked ado-o-o-rable!
Evoked such warm feelings... seemed to me he looked like the Maharajah of Gwalior in the early stages of his dressing up or Raja Ravi Verma in the final stages :) !! Reminded me of saree wrapping styles and parents and grandparents who usually wore white fending off the hot tropical sun!

And then what do I learn? it was a smear attempt by the Clinton camp - via the Drudge Report with a photo "which to the unschooled eye could look like a Taliban outfit."!!!!

Wha-a-a-t? Taliban? !!

Hey, do all turbans look the same to you?

What about this one?
Or this?
or these?

or all of these?

I have news for you - at least 5.5 billion people of the world dress differently from you - so DEAL with it, policeman of the world!

Here in the US itself now 20% of the populace being foreign-born or first generation, either dress differently or have parents or immediate family that dress differently or have native garbs that are different from mainstream pantsuits and 3-pieces - so DEAL with it !

Hillary campaign now claims innocence - “Barack Obama's campaign wants to suggest that a photo of him wearing traditional Somali clothing is divisive, they should be ashamed. Hillary Clinton has worn the traditional clothing of countries she has visited and had those photos published widely."

Oh Puhleeeze!

The Yes we can song!

Moving!

Went to the grocery store today (Giant) - and I guess the Clinton lobby had strong-armed them into running "Don't stop thinking about tomorrow"! A very subliminal Clinton ad there - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBKkwxCV5ls

Ad then I came home and listened to the Obama song! - he is so correct this election is not about black or white, not about gender, about rich or poor, but about the past vs. the future - listen to these two songs and tell me it isn't!
