NYT: CBS News said yesterday that it had postponed a "60 Minutes" segment that questioned Bush administration rationales for going to war in Iraq. It's inappropriate to examine the policies of a president a month before the election? Do they think that spreading such a dangerous idea is better than admitting the real reason why they're bumping the story? Either CBS News is admitting it has lost the credibility to criticize the president, or they're admitting their embarrassment at the piece's focus on forged documents (about uranium from Niger). I hear that if you give a broken stopwatch a good shake, it'll start ticking again. |
