Shielding Bush

Geez, it's hard to avoid the conclusion that the Rathergate scandal paid off handsomely for Bush in the 2004 election.

No doubt fearing the same fate that befell CBS, major media organs have admitted that they sat on two potentially damaging stories for fear of influencing the election. The NY Times did it with the bulge story; now we learn Time did it with the Rove/Plame imbroglio.
