Well, if Google News has become the benchmark on how a story should be reported or played, I'm sure you'll be happy to know that it is the "lead" on AOL.
Geez.
It was given "Headline" status on CBSNews.com and NBCNews.com. It was a more minor headline on ABCNews.com and CNN.com.
I will also guess that the story will be carried on all of the major network newscasts this evening, along with a lot of local newscasts.
I also think it will get a fair amount of play in the newspapers.
So, what's your point?
Would you have it lead the news and be played above Iraq, the Palestinian Elections and the Tsunami stories?
Give it a rest. The story isn't going to be ignored.
By the way, the panel came to the same conclusion that I and probably anyone else familiar with the way network news departments operate -- the main problem here was with the producer, Mary Mapes. That's just the way the networks operate.
