Super Tuesday - on Aljazeera

Interestingly, we're watching the Super Tuesday American election of delegates (for nominating candidates for the next US presidency) on ... guess, Aljazeera! They seem to have a very good coverage with a range of clever correspondents alerted for reporting from the "important states." This show is going to continue from now (around midnight in Norway) and for the next 7 hours...

I wonder what this phenomenon means, in terms of our media habits and the channel's ability to attract a wider audience. Whether paradoxical or not, we find it interesting in our family to note that Aljazeera offers such a good coverage and close following of the US elections. Sadly, we have to go to bed now, work waits tomorrow of a less political-entertaining kind...
