C-SPAN's Brian Lamb, Dakota Political Junkies, and "The Shot Heard 'Round the World"

Dakota Midday - 10/03/2011

C-SPAN Founder, Chairman and CEO Brian Lamb is accepting the Al Neuharth Award for Excellence in the Media. He talks about the award and how C-SPAN changed the way government proceedings are viewed.

Kevin Woster, of the Rapid City Journal, and the Madison Daily Leader's Jon Hunter weigh in as this week's Dakota Political Junkies. They react to Brian Lamb's comments about C-SPAN. They also discuss the Keystone XL hearing and Kristi Noem's unhappiness with President Obama's recommendation to cut agriculture programs.

Argus Leader Sportswriter Matt Zimmer talks about Bobby Thomson's "Shot Heard ‘Round the World." Today is the 60th anniversary of what some consider the greatest home run in baseball history. Zimmer matches it up to Kirby Puckett's Game 6 home run in the 1991 World Series.
