Useless House video

The House of Representatives figured it could save some money by cancelling a contract with WGBH and instead Webcasting its sessions. I'm trying to watch the same-sex-marriage vote and it's just not working. Honorable dudes - either give the contract back to WGBH or just give up the fiction you're providing public access to your proceedings.

3 p.m. update: With all these media outlets in Boston, how come everywhere you turn, you get only the same report by a single AP reporter? Thank goodness for Bay Windows (Blue Mass. Group got caught by the stupid Webcast problems).

4:10 p.m. update: And now Bay Windows is inacessible! It's like 1997 around here! Via eeka.
