Covering the Govs speech

Who says newspapers are a meaningless medium.

Hands down, the dailies provided the best coverage of the Gov's State of the State address - - in ink and bytes.

Aside from NJN's live coverage and post-speech analysis, reporting by broadcast outlets amounted to little more than drive-by journalism.  Case in point: Philly's ABC  TV  affiliate, WPVI, led their broadcast with  the open house hosted by the city's newly - installed Philadelphia mayor (okay), followed by team coverage of the unseasonably warm spring-like weather.  N J's stormy fiscal forecast - the worst in the nation - got less airtime than the local weather report.
