Sanford divorce hearing could be on TV

Haven’t had enough of watching Gov. Mark Sanford getting publicly filleted because of his misdeeds in his personal life? You may be in luck. A Thursday report from The Post & Courier says a hearing regarding the divorce hearing of Sanford v. Sanford will be open to the all-seeing electronic eye.

Per the story, at least three television networks have asked to broadcast the proceedings, with requests to do it live. While the philandering Governor does not have to attend, the still-current First Lady Jenny Sanford will probably have to testify.

It’s no doubt that a lot, if not most, people in South Carolina would like to put this whole episode behind them and let the Sanfords deal with their personal issues on their own. But, you can’t slag on news organizations, because this hearing certainly fits in with the best definition of “newsworthy.”
