Boehner Denies C-SPAN's Request to Allow its Cameras in the House - John Boehner - Fox Nation

House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH), who yesterday told the Radio-Television Correspondents Association saying he's willing to increase media access in the House, has denied C-SPAN's request to allow its cameras to cover House floor debates.

I know I am disappointed by such a decision by Speaker Boehner for several reasons.

I am also disappointed (but not surprised) by the behavior of Speaker Boehner as compared to a year ago during the Health care reform debate. By his answer here, is transparency only important for the Health care reform debate? Or when your side is the opposition?

Speaking of which, it should of had never come to this point in the first place because the Democrats should of allowed more transparency while they ruled Congress as well. Though I suppose this is what some in Congress would call bipartisanship.
