CNN’s Broadband Angle of the Burris Story

CNN and Fox News were live this morning amid the media crush outside the Capitol as Illinois Senator-designate Roland Burris tried to make his way into the building. After Burris entered, CNN took to air a broadband camera which was also streaming on CNN.com while CNN’s congressional correspondent Dana Bash reported what was happening.

Burris, who was appointed by embattled Gov. Rod Blagojevich last week, has since been turned away with the secretary of the Senate not accepting his credentials.
