reporters would have been lauded on the best reporters on the planet if it didn't work, they let the terrorist go away. >> these two megastories these week, the time square bombing and the gulf oil spill we will talk about an american city was under water, the flooding in nash service horrible, at least 27 people were kill and that did not become a national story. i wonder whether it was overshadowed or because there was no political storyline, we didn't have anything to argue about so it didn't become cable and network news fodder. let me get a break. when we come back, we are seeing the same kind of partisan flame throwing over the gulf oil disaster. the anchor does a heck of a job on brownie and his wild accusations. later, "newsweek" editor john meachum on his last-ditch effort to save his magazine.
