Network news reporting on CIA hearings could have opened people's minds

IMO. No wonder they did not even mention the hearings. For most Americans news is defined by the nightly network news, period. According to recent polls Americans are supposedly very interested in the Plame/Wilson/Rove story.

There has been no shortage of talking heads 'debating' Republican talking points on the Plame case. This hearing debunked it all clearly and forcefully.

I really think that if some of yesterday's testimony were used as accurate sound-bites (& there were plenty) and treated as important 'news', the public might be notably swayed. I also think this is exactly why the networks avoided the hearings like the plague.

Ah the good ole days when we were treated to nightly attention to Ken Starr's every burp.
