MORE IMPORTANT NOW: 60 Minutes Niger story that never aired... Let's get it aired!

Re-Post from August 25th and September 30. Commenters encouraged me to post it again when the time was right... The time is right! With Fitzmas coming this week, CBS needs to get this timely story out NOW!

Consider this an actionable item diary for all of you Kossacks. I think the tone in the media has changed sufficiently over the past few months that now is the time to push to get stories out there.

One story inparticular is already done but has never been aired. 60 Minutes has it ready to go, they've just never aired it. Now is the time to contact them and request they show this important story. Here is the contact information:

EMAIL: 60m@cbsnews.com

PHONE: (212) 975-3247

More detail on the story that never aired below...

1. IMO CBS became gun shy
since they were freeped over Rathers trumped up bogus indescretion.

They need to go watch "good night" Murrah was a real journalist.

BTW I sent them an email

3. they've waited this long..how about post indictment.
Edited on Mon Oct-24-05 01:13 PM by melissinha
they can run it precisely after the indictments are handed down.... it would make them look oh so good and allow them to regain their credibility. Of course it would be safer then and would bring a lot of attention to the issue to the non-newspaper reading public....

I'm gonna crosspost to Activist HQ.
