What's it like to report on Congress?

Today on Civics 101 we talk about truth, bias, and objectivity in reporting. I visited with Barbara Sprunt, reporter at the Washington desk at NPR, who told me what it's like to cover Capitol Hill. 

Barbara told me about her schedule, what to listen for when interviewing members of Congress, and what she says to accusations of political bias.
