Without wanting to feed into the idea that work is underway at the studios at CNN Washington it does seem peculiar.
Was Inside Politics live today?
May be the initial idea for SOTU was to be pre-recorded, as it is Super Bowl day in the US (and Jake is apparently a fan), but then, with interviews already conducted, another flying object was downed in Canada and so they switched to doing part of it live.
On Jan.1, which was not only a New Year holiday, but also a Sunday, SOTU also went pre-recorded, but so did Inside Politics and even CNN TM Weekend.
