I can't say, really, but sometimes I think we wear our tinfoil hats a little to tight. While 'rats are devious, I doubt they go around committing murders so as to knock other stories off the news.

That's not what I said. The media has the power to promote and bury stories. The Sandy Berger affair embarasses Democrats and the left in general. Not something Kerry needs and the newsrooms know it. So, if folks believe that the television networks and newspaper publishers tilt left and have a bias for them, it doesn't hurt news outlets to promote a sensational murder case that's developing and ease scrutiny on a man who is affiliated with the Kerry campaign as we close in on the election.

Right. If not the murder then something. ANYTHING. They might even have bored us with Nicholas Cage's third marriage stories, etc and more Michael Jackson garbage. Anything but report something that might damage Kerry.
