CBS leads w/ spying; NBC with borders; ABC with semen at Duke
Domestic spying was #2 at NBC. I refuse to look at ABC again.

No frogmarch stories.

2. I think Hookergate will get some airtime.
There's such a fine assortment of scandals; there's something to suit every TV producer's tastes.

3. That's because the MSM isn't gonna go with it.
Pick your option...

1) The MSM is a tool of BushCo and is hiding the story.
2) The MSM has nothing to confirm Leopold's bombshell.
3) The MSM simply dismisses everything from Leopold/Truthout out of hand.

My personal vote is for 2. Imagine the pressure of this story in the WH. Imagine 20-30 WH reporters all with varying levels of closeness and "chits" on WH staff interested in getting any steam to report on. Assuming this story is true it is unlikely to stay underwraps until Monday. This would be HUGE on the Sunday talk shows.

6. Right
if true (and I don't doubt Will) I can't see how they can possibly contain it until Monday.

9. So, for the first time in months I'll be watching Sunday morning TV
I'm cynical yes, but it would be great to hear it break into the MSM.

4. I wonder if Steve Jobs will help the reporting at ABC?
I'm hoping so.

7. I noticed that too!
And I also noticed the morning anchor say that this spying program was unavailable before 9/11, but I have heard from some sources that Bush gave the order pre-9/11. Anyone know for sure?
