C-SPAN'S Brian Lamb
C-SPAN viewers can attest to the fact that reality television from Capitol Hill can be both riveting and painfully dull. But for the network's founder, Brian Lamb, the goal has always been to give the American public insight into the process of governing and access to people in power. We talk with Lamb about what he's achieved so far and what's next.

Mr. Lamb thank you thank you for CSpan the greatest program ever. Trying to educate the public on such critical issues. Although I have noticed that even on Washington Journal there are some topics and guest who seemed to be avoided. Especially on wider coverage and fact based information on the Israeli Palestinian conflict. Also on the situation with Iran. Have noticed there are a disproportionate amount of guest who either support an attack on Iran or sanctions based on what many of us believe is unsubstantiated claims about Iran.
Can you please discuss whether say for instance the Israel lobby collectively pressures or threatens CSpans programming?
I know that the group Camera has a website called Cspan watch where they regularly call individual callers anti semitic for stating facts about the I/P conflict or facts about the Iran situation. Can you please address this type of pressure from specific groups?
And why is it that Washington Journal will not have former Bush administraton officials Flynt (also a former CIA middle east analyst) and Hillary Mann Leverett on the program to discuss Iran. I have asked for these two experts to be on Washington Journal over and over again. Is there some sort of road block up against them? Their website about Iran is Race for Iran
