Of course that is fair. The timing is unfortunate, but all papers and news programs run on a timeline. the fact that it would have come out the day before the election is actual complete coincidence, it looks like.
Had they had the story in the can for a whole week, and delayed the story, it would still be "fair". The rules of broadcast news are not the same as the rules for a political campaign. Two completely different objectives. If 60 minutes had delayed the broadcast, they would have politely *cough* been asked why. If they delayed it for ratings, then that is perfectly "fair". If they delayed it for an impact in the election, that would not have been "fair". The crew at 60 Minutes II, or the Wednesday 60 minutes, are not the same crew as on the Sunday 60 minutes. The Sunday crew would probably rather give the story to Dateline than the Wednesday crew after the file debacle. Just my 2 cents, Jerry Johnson >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 10/28/04 04:57PM >>> And that's fair to you? Did you know they also have a 60 minutes on Wednesday? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Sams Teach Yourself Regular Expressions in 10 Minutes by Ben Forta http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=40 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:133275 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
