Once again it was amusing to witness the ”Big 3” television networks scramble because they were caught short with noncoverage of a major news event.

The tragic shuttle flight had a sorrowful impact on our nation. Thanks to the Cable News Network, we have a news record of the preparations, the flight and the reactions of the actual witnesses to the take-off and later events.

The straight-forward reporting that followed the sequence of events should be a feather in the cap of the Cable News Network.
