Are any of the news channels reporting any of the Judicial Committee hearings

[Skidmore]

at all? Even periodically summarizing what has transpired?

If not, I think we need a concerted effort to shame them into paying attention to this and to broadcasting them.

1. It's not even on CSPAN. My feeling is that it is by design.

I'm listening and watching on the judiciary site.

9. What's your take on the lack of coverage?

10. To be honest, the CSPANs didn't bother me

because they were in session and required to air them. As far as the MSMs, they could have watched it closely and played clips. Unfortunately, the agenda had questions of just about every stripe. If there had been a focus on a specific issue such as NSA wiretaps, Habeus Corpus, replacing lawyers, or even the anthrax attacks I think there is a possibility the MSMs might have had better coverage. In-depth coverage isn't their cup of tea the last few years...unless it's sex or murder.

As it is, we'll hopefully get some clips that are highlighted and discussed for more than 2 minutes.

12. THIS is an opportunity that Reid should maximize and rev up

that Media War Room to overdrive.
