doesn't look like 60 minutes will have the Barnes story tonight

[still_one]

If that is the case it probably is good because of the labor day holiday they might not get viewers. If it is next week there should be more viewers

1. i was thinking the same thing...

too much news this weekend.

[MooPie]

2. It is good.

Here in Orlando every major network excluding cable is pre-empted by storm coverage. Which I really haven't minded to be quite honest.

3. Or did the head of CBS kill

for Bushie.......!!!!!!!

8. Not likely

CBS News is an autonomous department, which means it's exempt from the direct corporate pressure all the other news shows feel. It was set up that way back in the good old days when we did have a balanced media, to keep it that way.

Corporate pressure may cause them to offer a bit more right wing "balance" than they otherwise might, but it won't kill a story.

The entertainment wing of CBS is directly affected by corporate pressure, as it wasn't granted autonomy. That's why the silly Reagan movie was cancelled.

4. It was scheduled for next week from the beginning.

19. Scarlet Woman--You live!

Joy, Joy, Joy! Haven't seen you on the board for a while. :hug:

7. Yes, for Wednesday.

There is enough real stuff to get riled about.

We will see it. Sit tight.

13. I thought it was next Sunday

It would be perfect - coming on after the NFL games.

5. But will they reschedule it?

Several weeks ago 60 Minutes was supposed to have Sibel Edmonds on. I forget what big news event pushed it off the agenda, but whatever it was, the earlier advertised Sibel interview has seemingly disappeared into the void.

I hope this doesn't happen to the Barnes story as well, but it's very disappointing to see yet another potential bombshell report get shunted aside.

9. It was never scheduled for tonight - CBS not going to waste this

on a Labor Day weekend.

I believe it will either be on Wednesday or next Sunday.

The Salon.com and other articles always stated it was not this Sunday!

10. People kept getting so excited about tonight...

and I wondered why. I read the original report and new it wasn't airing until the next show.

14. Some guy named Reagan died

They aired it a few weeks ago. Great segment.

[scarletwoman]

16. Thanks! I couldn't for the life of me remember what the heck happened!

I guess Reagan's passing was definitely NOT a personally memorable event.

But I missed the rescheduled airing of the Sibel Edmonds interview?!? Dang it! I hardly EVER miss 60 Minutes! Can't believe it passed by without me seeing it. :-(

17. The show that you are talking about

was a re-run. It was already shown earlier in the year. I doubt they would re-schedule.

You can find it, I believe on the CBS site. THere may be a transcript.

11. I wrote the reminder on my calender so I wouldn't forget to watch it and.

It's on Sept. 12 with lots of exclamation points next to it. ;) It's next Sunday!

[scarletwoman]

12. Well, that's great news, actually. This weekend would be a waste.

Now I'm just wondering how I got in my head that it was THIS Sunday.... Duh.

18. That might be a bad day for some MN folk....

Dennis Kucinich is going to be here on 9/12! Didn't know if you knew about that one yet. Contact me for details!
