Cable TV outlet Black News Channel has abruptly shut down after two years on the air, and just after hitting new viewership highs during this week’s confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson.

Cory Booker is refusing to let any of his peers take away the historic glory of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson's nomination. During the tense third day of the Supreme Court nominee's confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, the junior United States senator from New Jersey brought tears to Jackson’s eyes as he praised her poise during continued conservative attacks.«This has been not a surprise, given the history that we all know, but perhaps a little bit of a disappointment, some of the things that have been said in this hearing,» Booker said, crediting Jackson for her «grit and grace» and «extraordinary demeanor» in the face of the GOP senators' questionable tone.Booker became emotional as he recognized the journey that Jackson -- who would be the first Black woman on the Supreme Court — took to get to her current nomination. «You got here how every Black woman in America who's gotten anywhere has done… like Ginger Rogers said: 'I did everything Fred Astaire did, but backwards and in heels,'» he added.
