WTF? US news channels cut off coverage of Galloway hearing as he makes US accusations

I'm sitting here watching the Senate hearing with George Galloway (google news him if you aren't familiar with him, there's a very interesting story behind him). The senators start throwing the accusations at him and he not only deflects them fairly well, he starts throwing back the accusations he has, culminating with the comment "I was right, the US was wrong"... then CNN thought it was boring enough they needed to go to commercial. MSNBC and FOX News both thought they were more interesting so they put him in a muted side box and started talking amongst themselves. CSPAN2 is showing senators walk around the floor during a break in another hearing and it's not streaming on their site. BBC is the only station I see covering it gavel to gavel. It is a rather heated exchange going on between Mr. Galloway and the senators. I guess the US stations want to edit it to show later and make whoever they want to look bad.
