[Alas Babylon!]

Ah, but you see, timing is everything! This is the typical Clintonian tactic of letting out bad news on a Friday. Big meida will report it, only a small percentage will hear it, and then big media will cycle the story off the front page by early Sunday. Later, they can say, "Sure we covered the story. But we're not gonna harp on it for days and days."

Ah, yes. I seem to remember getting wind of that tactic a time or two. Bottom line-the press has to cooperate for the bad news to get buried.
