I just noticed that C-SPAN has live streams available of all their channels.

Yes, C-SPAN can be boring as hell.. However, Washington Journal is one of the best things to watch in the morning for a review of all breaking news that effecting US politics. Its all caller driven, the anchors keep their opinions out of it, and they tend to have interesting (or at least relevant) people interviewed every day. Highly recommended if you find yourself needing some useful and informative background noise between 7-10am EST.
