jimpit, About the second of these 'timely tidbits' you've been dropping here (quoted at end): (1) Is this meant to indicate anything in particular, or are we all just assumed to know the correct "spin" to add to it? (2) Do you suppose there were any other stories running on those days, and do you suppose it matters at all what those other stories were? (3) Since this 'tidbit' refers to the evening shows, do we know at what time of day the appeals court announced their decision and got this information to the media, (4) the 'tidbit' only mentions ABC, CBS, and CNN and seems to demonstrate a uniform response - do we know of any other media outlets with shows at the same time of day that handled the stories differently? (5) "Appeals court sides with Starr" - is this news? Did it make you fall out of your chair when you heard it? How about: "Starr's case continues", a shocker right?(6) Can we conclude from this 'tidbit' alone that the heads of news at ABC, CBS and CNN should be impeached, or should we call a few witnesses so that we can "look into their eyes" first? Then and now When a judge criticized independent counsel Kenneth W. Starr and threw out an indictment of Clinton pal Webster L. Hubbell on July 1, the news led the ABC, CBS and CNN evening shows, the Media Research Center reports. "Six months later, an appeals court reinstated the indictment. Zilch on ABC, 12 seconds on CBS, a bit more on CNN."
