What exactly did the MSM add to the story?

They discovered a Kinko's in Abilene. One of the weaknesses, at least now, that I see with amateur sleuths is that they fail to question the key witnesses, and maybe are still 'camera-shy'. Both of those things may change. But I do agree with the article in that the old media is certainly capable of keeping up with a 'blogworld' compressed news cycle. But not all the old media. CBS is a tragic example. But ABC and NBC can't be much better. CNN is probably blinded by that bias this writer loathes. But not every network, and not every newspaper, or magazine with their relatively LONNNGG views of the news, are similarly hampered. It is more than a partership, an audit by both on both. And as it might become more a partnership for some 'blogs', in future, then more money chasing a story in that way could encourage problems of its own. I think I'd rather take a chance that way, however.

Thanks. I didn't know who uncovered this.

That, I absolutely agree with ... and pray it continues to work that way.
