NEW YORK – If there was any doubt that news during the coronavirus pandemic would fall prey to split-screen America, it was removed on Thursday.
CNN spent more than three and a half hours covering live the congressional hearing where vaccine expert Rick Bright testified that the Trump administration was caught flat-footed by the pandemic and the country faces darker days ahead.
MSNBC followed it for more than two hours. On Fox News Channel, the bigger story was the revelation that Obama administration officials sought to “unmask" the identity of Trump adviser Michael Flynn, caught in surveillance reports having discussions with Russian officials before Trump's inauguration.
