CNN Covers Schiavo Case Breaking News....
Will this case force the cable news nets to go live 24/7? It seems when the breaking news about Terri Schiavo's parents having filed an appeal with the US Supreme Court late Wednesday night, CNN had Aaron Brown record a "breaking news" segment. I caught it when it aired at 1:00a.m. eastern time. AB tossed it to Joe Johns outside the Supreme Court then AB outroed the bit with "back to regular programming." The news of the filing of the appeal broke at around midnight eastern and am sure it had aired several times before me seeing it at 1a.m.
Note: SEVERAL e-mailers say," That was no pre-recording. That report on the Schiavo's appeal to the Supreme Court was done live at the very end of NewsNight's first feed. An excellent job by Johns and his producer."
