I haven't read all the replies yet someone else probably already posted something along these lines...

I HOPE that all the public furor is what caused them to quickly rethink yesterday's statement of "professional courtesy" interview. What I really wonder is this: were there back channel discussions between the administration and the networks saying you'll never ask another question in a press conference unless you dump Arnett.

However it happened I'm glad it did, and I hope public sentiment was involved!

The nutcases on DUh are alleging things far more sinister than mere "back channel discussions" on the Administration's part, which for me is more than enough reason to believe that NBC's decision was entirely based on public furor.
