I AM awake but if there were any truth to this story,don’t you think Wolf and Fredrika and Hannity would at least MENTION the controversy,if only to increase their ratings?
In the end,this will turn out to be much ado about nothing.

River - Did Rathergate and the forged bush documents instantly explode onto the mainstream media news outlet when the blogs 1st began to report them? That issue certainly endured quite the gestation period as well - initially written off as just another desperate right wing claim despite the factual claims on the ground. No major news outlet will touch this either at this point - at least not until it has gained critical mass to where the Obama camp finds itself completely cornered. Why take a chance and report it now? Even Fox news would simply prefer others assume any and all risk with respect to a story which could still possess liability. Let the lower tier media complete the full investigation first, then, and if further information results in their litmus test for reporting, it will explode just a big as Rathergate.

Granted - if Obama produces an valid BC, this whole discussion could be over well before it goes further. Any mention of this by the major networks, even before the myth is resolved, only hurts him. Instead, this matter continues to build with no benefit to his campaign even if it can be debunked. Again - the ball is in their court, and they have yet to return.
