Last night, for another Tuesday, the cable networks focussed their might on primary coverage. This time it was SUPER TUESDAY! Everyone wanted to watch, presumably because they were tricked into think that it was one of those superhero movies that all the kids seem to love so much. So, yes, a lot of people watched the news. Most of those people watched the Fox News news. Basically it was like every other day…except it was SUPERER!
