Greater Transparency?
Fox News
Incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has promised a greater transparency when the Democrats take over next year. But she has carried on the tradition of her predecessors and denied a request by C-SPAN to use its own cameras to cover House proceedings.
Pelosi today informed C-SPAN that the House will continue to provide the cameras and control what they show — saying she wants to preserve "the dignity and decorum" of the House. C-SPAN had tried to make the case that a news organization should have independent editorial control. C-SPAN also wants the House to release individual voting records electronically as soon as voting periods end. Pelosi says she is studying that request.
