I thought perhaps it had been taped ahead of time, but dont think they do.

Today's wasn't. At the beginning of the show, Russert mentioned that some reporter (can't remember his name) had been working all night long on LAST NIGHT'S ANNOUNCEMENT/story about the big arrest. LAST NIGHT's ANNOUNCEMENT??? I don't understand why Russert was presenting it as if it was breaking news over the night. Strange.

He said 'overnight' so we'd think something was new, and would therefore watch his show.

Damaging to their credibility, don't ya' think? ...and therefore really stupid.
