Summarized from more than one independent rater, including AllSides and Ad Fontes Media. We do not rate outlets ourselves.
Created in 1979 by the cable industry as a public service and operated by the non-profit National Cable Satellite Corporation. It broadcasts congressional proceedings and public events with no commentary, no editing and no host interpretation.
It is as close to unmediated as American political television gets, which is why it is cited by every side. Its limitation is the same as its virtue: watching a committee hearing without context is difficult, and its coverage of the House and Senate floors is constrained by camera rules the chambers themselves control.
