You just don't get it, do you, Mike?

In fairness, you probably don't know about the hype that preceding the story that was evidently local, not national. In the countdown (yes, literally) leading up to the story being published, Dallas viewers of the local ABC affiliate and visitors to the Dallas Morning News website were led to believe that there was going to be a single major revelation. The Nightline press release intimated the same thing. Local news announcers gave blurbs every commercial break about how the story was to be simultaneously broadcast on the local news and released on the web at exactly 10:00 P.M. There were rumors floating around the Morning News forums that a USA cardinal was going to be outed. My comment reflects my opinion that the story, which was basically a compilation of already known facts, just didn't live up to the hype.
