CNN misses the mark on the Shuttle Launch in HD

After touting the splendor of watching a shuttle launch in high definition, during the actual launch on Saturday, May 31, CNN did the unthinkable.

They didn't bother to actually just go full screen HD. Instead the filled the screen up with commentators, graphics, and the ever-present DELEGATE COUNTS.

So those of us with HD, who would have been thrilled to actually watch a launch in full HD, didn't get the chance.

So why did they bother talking about how wonderful and awesome it was going to be in HD if they never leveraged the technology right in front of them to let the viewer actually experience it.

If I were TV Guide, this would definitely show up in the JEERS column.
