Reply #11: I hope CBS doesn't pull a New York Times

[gratuitous]

Remember 2006? The Times had some damning story about the Bush administration all set to go, but withheld it so as not to "influence" the election. Thanks for the attempted favor, Timesmen; too bad the Republicans still got crunched, munched, and sent out to lunch in 2006. Hopefully CBS doesn't feel similarly constrained to withhold pertinent facts and information about Sarah Palin so as not to "influence" the 2008 election.

In case anyone in a position to do something about it reads this, let me just remind our popular media folks that part of their job is to create an informed electorate, and that means doling out information no matter how stupid it makes a candidate look.
