TV news can help a dozen soundbites from politicians go viral on any day. One recent social-media uproar stirred by CBS News came not from flagship programs like “CBS Mornings” or “CBS Evening News,” but from “Red & Blue,” a program available only through streaming.
On a recent Wednesday, CBS News political correspondent Caitlin Huey-Burns nabbed an interview with Senator Tim Scott, the Republican presidential hopeful, and made sure to ask him his stance on federal limits on when women might be able to terminate a pregnancy. Scott gave all kinds of answers, but none of them directly answered her questions. The exchange made news — even though it debuted first in a place where, in another era, it might have gotten lost.
Correspondents would like to do more of these kinds of interviews, says Huey-Burns. “He hadn’t defended a position before, so we saw that as an opportunity. Once people...

Nancy Cordes has been the indefatigable Capitol Hill beat reporter at CBS News for more than a decade. Now she will start a new role for the ViacomCBS news unit – at the White House.
CBS News named Cordes its chief White House correspondent, part of a reshuffling of news resources that usually takes place around the industry whenever a new occupant takes over the Oval Office. CBS News also named Ed O’Keefe senior White House and political correspondent and said Weija Jiang, another familiar face covering the White House, would be a senior White House correspondent going forward.
The moves are some of the first put in place by Ingrid Cipiran-Matthews, who was named CBS News’ Washington Bureau Chief on January 5.
“I have taken a fresh look at the needs in D.C. and feel confident that we are putting the right team in place for success,:” Ciprian-Matthews said in a statement.

Congress will count the 2020 Electoral College votes on Wednesday to confirm President-elect Joe Biden’s presidential victory in a joint session beginning at 1 p.m. Et/10 a.m. Pt in the House of Representatives.
The final (and usually pro-forma) step in the Potus certification process, today’s count is expected to verify the votes electors cast back in December that gave Biden a 306-232 win in the Electoral College, a month after Biden won the popular vote in the general election. The margin of victory is the same in which now-President Donald Trump declared victory in 2016.
Trump and many GOP members of Congress have disputed the results of the this year’s presidential election, though dozens of attempts to overturn results in both state and federal courts (and two in the U.S. Supreme Court) have failed. Trump continues to press on with unfounded claims that the election was stolen from him,...

In normal times, the certification by Congress of electoral votes for president would be, at best, a nominal news event. But these aren’t normal times.
On Wednesday, Congress is expected to complete the final step in making Joe Biden’s election official. But with some Republican lawmakers signaling that they will bow to public pressure from President Donald Trump to upend the electoral-college certification — a process rarely infused with drama and described by the Constitution as a fairly routine counting exercise — television-news is gearing up for event coverage.
MSNBC will kick off its coverage at 9 a.m. Et with Stephanie Ruhle on “MSNBC Live”; Hallie Jackson will then take over as anchor for two hours of special coverage from Washington, D.C., beginning at 10 a.m. Et. At noon Et, coverage will be taken over by Chuck Todd and Andrea Mitchell in Washington, D.C., and Katy Tur in New York.

Most of the media that has trekked to Iowa over the past few days is doing what is known as “parachuting,” or swooping in to cover a story before moving on to the next.
Since Donald Trump’s shocking victory in 2016, it’s become a bit of a caricature for reporters to try to make sense of red state America by chatting up patrons at small-town diners.
By contrast, NBC News’ Vaughn Hillyard, a member of the network’s team of “road warriors,” has been dispatched to Iowa for much of the past year and has spent more days in the state than anywhere else over the past five years. He’ll be part of the network’s coverage on Monday, with Lester Holt anchoring from New York and Chuck Todd in Iowa as entrance polls and results come in, while Rachel Maddow, Brian Williams and Nicole Wallace headline MSNBC...

Updated with schedules for Week 2 hearings: The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence will continue public hearings in the impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump for a second week beginning Tuesday. Last week’s three witnesses marked the first such hearings to take place since President Bill Clinton was impeached in 1998 and only the fourth time against a sitting president in U.S. history.
The House of Representatives is probing charges that Trump attempted to coerce Ukraine, a foreign government, to launch an investigation of political rival Joe Biden and his son. The hearings could wrap before the end of the year.
Like last week, cable networks are planning full-court coverage for scheduled hearings this Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday (see the breakdown below). Most broadcast networks plan to break in to regularly scheduled programming, while offering uninterrupted coverage via their digital outlets.
Deadline will also live-stream all the hearings this week.

Donald Trump’s State of the Union address almost didn’t happen this year because of the government shutdown, but here we are.

And CBS News is delivering not one, but two separate State of the Union presentations.

This broadcast, which will begin at at the 9 p.m. Et/6 p.m. Pt scheduled start time for Trump’s speech, will be hosted by Jeff Glor with contributions from “Face the Nation” moderator Margaret Brennan and CBS News correspondentsNancy Cordes, Major Garrett, Nikole Killion and Ed O’Keefe, along with others.
