If it bleeds, it leads

The old newspaper axiom is as true today as it ever was. While the Attorney General is being grilled by the Senate for either corruption or gross incompetence, CNN, MSNBC and our friends over at FoxNews can’t drag themselves away from the Virginia Tech bloodbath aftermath long enough to do anything but mention that said grilling is occurring in the ticker running along the bottom of the screen.

I know it’s running on CSPAN-3, the red-headed stepchild of the CSPAN network, but our stupid satellite carrier (Hi DTV!) doesn’t carry CSPAN-3

Most egregious, actually, is CNN, which is running live footage of the testimony in an inset from time to time, while they have pundits chattering over the actual testimony!

There is some serious suckitude afoot here.
