It is very hard to believe that CBS put together a segment on

[INdemo]

Rmoney and his boy on 60 minutes already..Bob Sheiffer and CBS are certainly lobbying for the Citizens United/Koch Bros. money from the get-go.
So its obvious that CBS must have know about this pick much earlier than Fri or Sat
Well we are certainly in for a corporate media blitz

1. I agree.

This will be like free advertising for Mitt and Twit.

2. Not necessarily

they probably had segments ready to go for all possible picks. Like obits a lot of these things are produced well before, it is quite canned.

3. Many media sources prepare obituaries well in advance (for "just in case"). . .

4. A lot of outlets have a lot of stuff that's fairly ready to go. I'd bet much of it is just

recycled from when all the attention was on him during his Ryan Budget Extravaganza

5. Not at all. For that particular medium and form, that's plenty of time

even with an actual random event. In this case, they'd have a half baked piece on each possible contender already, to finishing it out would be a cake walk. Think about it. Famous person dies in the morning, they have an hour long tribute ready that night. It is not rocket science.
