CNN presented a live stream on its web site during the private meeting between Pope Benedict and President Obama. The cameras swtiched between a stream showing the waiting staff, outside the private room in which the meeting was taking place, and a stream showing the art work inside the papal palace.
The CNN web site gave continuous coverage without commentary; the news channel offered glimpses. Score one for the Internet.
