4. Absolutely

I was thinking the same thing. MSNBC is already back to talking about Scott Peterson. Keep in mind a helluva lot more people watch Jennings, Brokaw and Rather than Tweety and the rest of the cable news bush whores.

5. I said it on another thread and I'll repeat it here

ONE DAY STORY. And on a Friday night at that, the Friday before Halloween and the election.

People want election news, and the media will follow the money.

And that's a very good point about more people watching the evening news shows. It's people like us who seem to stay glued the 24-7 cable news channels.

6. Because it ruins their own cartoon version of bin Laden

You know - the blood-thirsty madman who hates us for our freedoms and hides under our beds and around every corner so we must be afraid and vote Repub. That's the new and improved bin Laden that the whore media and the * administration want us to believe in. Not this guy on the tape making legitimate criticisms of *.
