Another Super Tuesday preview…
The San Jose Mercury News’ Charlie McCollum writes about Super Tuesday…
CNN, Fox News and MSNBC will go wall-to-wall with Super Tuesday coverage. ABC has tossed out its entire prime time schedule in favor of five hours of political news. CBS is going with a two-hour special report, updated for the West Coast. And Fox News put together a three-hour presidential primary special - “Fox News Super Sunday” - that aired on Fox before the start of the network’s coverage of Sunday’s Super Bowl.
“It’s a return to the way network television used to be,” said John Roberts, the CNN anchor and political reporter. “Now, maybe, there’s a recognition that ‘hey, this political stuff is getting really good ratings’ and they’ve decided to capitalize on that.”
