Let us all give a call out to MSNBC...
Who (at least in my little backwater) are covering the problems of heroin addicts in the Pacific Northwest...the thought that there was a HUGE seismic event in the northeast that may cause a tsunami of change in the political landscape does not, apparently call for any notice at this "24/7" news station....therefore I suspect that sometime tomorrow they will notice the anointed candidate of station flagship flack Don Imus has hit the wall sometime tomorrow....news, Indeed.....

3. I think I understand....
MSNBC did switch to their Docu-block at 10, when most of us were craving live coverage of today's primaries. Keith is going back and forth right now, at midnight, to his 8pm re-air/live...Kos up now...long night, huh :)

Oh well, thank goodness for Cspan...they had the best "live" coverage tonight. Can't believe ALL the 24/7 news channels just rolled over like the corporate dogs that they are :cry:

5. It was an important election symbolically, but it wasn't nationally
that important. It's a primary. In Connecticut.

7. As I said, it was important, but how many times do networks pre-empt
programming for political races? Once every four years or so, for the presidential election.

I'm sure the Connecticut stations had complete coverage.

4. "kay....
you're right...but as a "news organization" how do you allow a paradigm shift to occur (11:05 EST) to occur without comment? And K.O. on live here...
