then 10 seconds later the c-span feed of the house floor for the first time ever in the history of the c-span feed gets overtaken, gets hijacked by -- you see that down in the lower left-hand corner, see what it is? "rt." that stands for russian today. russian today is the bonkers state-funded russian news/propaganda outfit that the fbi, the cia and the nsa recently implicated in the russian attack on the u.s. elections. it's a kremlin-funded pseudo news source. and for 10 minutes today after maxine waters mentioned russia when she was talking about this s.e.c. rule, c-span wasn't c-span anymore. it all of a sudden became kremlin tv. and the reason we have the record of that is because it was captured online by a dead spin editor named timothy burke and he tweeted this clip of what happened. i was just watching c-span and it got taken over by rt. and when it first happened, when we saw that tweet from him we were like could that possibly be a glitch?
