36. The coverage of the hearings so far by the networks has been lame.

Notice:

CNN and MSNBC air Repuke Senator grilling of the judge, but when a Democratic Senator comes on, they cut away for "analysis" by their studio talking heads.

What the heck is up with that?

For example, today, they showed the entire 30 minute session of Cornyn, but when the Democratic Senator from New Hampshire followed, CNN cut away to their roundtable discussion. MSNBC did the same for the first 10 minutes of that session.

If anyone affiliated with the networks is watching, how about you just "shut up and show it" ?

That means, show the ENTIRE hearing, cutting away only when the hearing is on break or done for the day.
