[They] WANT this story to be true.

Thats a major part of it. They have gone beyond reason. It's personal. Thats why the FCC and Congress need to get involved with this.

To his credit, Dim Pat Caddell was asking Alan Colmes why he was drinking the Kool-Aid. Then, he launched into NBC, for having Bitty Kelley on the Today show THREE times, this week.

I would rather the Congress and FCC stay out of it.

This is between CBS and the American public.

Gov't actions against the press, no matter the legal particulars, is a very touchy issue. The FCC control over broadcast licenses is already an affront to free speech, and their enforcement is nothing to get excited about.

Everyone can see what is going on here. Let CBS deal with this, and the public will take its toll in the market, and CBS will adjust itself or die slowly.

From a practical standpoint it is also better to let CBS figure out how to fix this than to potentially cast them as a victim of censorship.
