I don't think cable news has lost interest in the story. Hannity and Greta were doing stories on it regularly. I think events in the middle east have come to the front right now and frankly, there isn't alot to report on Duke. Titus didn't issue any major rulings. He basically did nothing and put everything on hold. The only thing coming up is the ruling on the subpoenas on friday.
I hope maybe the letter is directed not only at the Duke students, but to provide some fodder for the talking heads. They need to know on what grounds to attack Nifong--well, here are some specific legal grounds.
