Was C-span the only MSM covering the Conyers Hearing?

I thought I saw on DU that CBS and ?CNN was going to cover it. Did they?

2. C-Span isn't exactly MSM

It's really more like PBS or the NASA channel. 24 coverage of Congress and hearings and such.

5. CSPAN has about 100 viewers.

The fifty dems were watching today, and we're all posting about it. This will get no real airtime. Count on it.

8. Because C-SPAN continued to cover the event...

...past the original scheduled time slot, I wonder if it's because they realized this was truly something BIG.
