I followed the events yesterday (Sunday) on my computer with the good people at al jazzeera (http://english.aljazeera.net/watch_now/). Sometime in the evening I came across a blog post bashing all of the US cable news stations for their crappy coverage of the story, saying they had almost no video or reporters on scene, and were mostly talking studio heads. I clicked over to cnn on my tv (by then probably 9:00 in the evening pacific time) and watched for about 15 minutes. The coverage was not as good as AJ, but I did see a couple of video pieces, and it looked like they had a reporter in Tripoli, and another somewhere else in Libya. I went over to cnn.com, and they had the dedicated section to the story in the prestige (upper left) portion of their site - again not great, but not horrible. I am wondering if anyone followed the events on CNN primarily, and can comment on the quality of the coverage? -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
