C-Span

"C-Span offers live access to congress and straightforward government news. Zero bias. They are about as neutral as it can get. They do have news programs that have some bias, but this varies by program.  Otherwise, C-Span is a camera pointing to the front of congress and Senate."(Source)

C-Span is what would be considered a primary source. On C-Span, you can see our government in action live and use that to form your own opinions about what is happening instead of waiting for a reporter to relay the information.

The AP is owned by its contributing newspapers and radio and television stations in the United States, all of which contribute stories to the AP and use material written by its staff journalists.
