CBS decided that neither the third nor the fourth day of Sonia Sotomayor's confirmation hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee was worthy of coverage by a correspondent. ABC's Jan Crawford Greenburg and NBC's Pete Williams both went four-for-four this week, but both implied that the hearings were so uneventful that CBS' news judgment was credible. NBC's Williams concluded that it was "likely that Judge Sotomayor will be on the Supreme Court within a few weeks." ABC's Crawford Greenburg reminded us of Sen Lindsey Graham's prediction that her confirmation was assured, absent a "meltdown." Commented Crawford Greenburg: "We saw the opposite. She really kept her cool throughout." Far from seeming the liberal activist, "Sotomayor calmly, persistently, repeatedly, described herself differently, sounding almost conservative."
