I'm a lifelong baseball fan, and I don't care if Roger Clemens took steroids, or if he is lying or if McNamee is lying.  News is stuff that's important. If it's national news, it's stuff that is important to everyone in the nation. Whether Clemens took steroids or not is a proper topic for a 60 Minutes, Fresh Air or Nightline segment. To take a whole day across all the cable channels the day after three pivotal primaries is very wrong. (And what if they do it again tomorrow? Oy.) So it's ridiculous that all the cable news channels are broadcasting the full testimony of Roger Clemens and his accuser. Hours of repetitive questions and the same answers, over and over, while there is news happening in the world. I know because I'm subscribed to the MSNBC and AP feeds on Twitter. I have a Google Alert that shows me results of all the campaign conference calls. (There have been a couple this morning, from Obama and McCain, I'd love to get MP3s, and still looking for a feed.) It's time for some serious routing-around, or for the cable news programmers to get back on the job.  Cross-posted at Huffington.

Editor and Publisher - NEW YORK You mean you haven't seen "The Caucus," "Naked Politics," or "Clout Street?" No, these aren't new shows on television's prime-time schedule, or a string of rock bands hitting the underground circuit. They happen to be the latest online political reporting tools for some of America's most prestigious daily newspapers. As this midterm election in November shapes up to be one of the most crucial ever, newspapers are hitting the Web in ways they never have in the past, with new political blogs leading the way.
