I agree with the perception that the camera is not necessarily neutral or unbiased and can be manipulated to create theoretical plus or minus illusions.

Take for example current televised portions of US Govt proceedings, which, in my opinion usually fail to show what’s REALLY going on with other members of congress as the camera remains focused upon a particular speaker. We all know that ACTIONS speak louder than words. So, why shouldn’t the camera and sound capture the whole business going-on, such as who’s sleeping?

The question remains — what restrictions will surface if webcasting becomes a reality next year? If there are any restrictions/prohibitions this ought to tell the voters what their representatives really think.

Furthermore, on demand, unrestricted viewing of high quality imagery and sound at any/all govt proceedings is paramount as to whether or not voters are getting a good return on their political investments.
