If you like living in a world of conspiracy around every corner, you have every right. But if you had ever worked with New York editors, you would know that they get around to "scheduling" stories in their own way and time, at least some of the time based on sound news judgement. Since you choose to use a fake name and e-mail address, a dialup AOL address at that, this will do not good. But I will renew my bet here for anyone who wants to take it. If Bob Riley or Jeff Sessions has the power to kill a 60 Minutes story, and if the story never runs, I will buy you a 12-pack of my favorite beer: Yuengling Black and Tan. Of course that means if I turn out to be right and you turn out to be wrong, you have to buy me a 12-pack of Black and Tan. I'll even go you one better. I'll give you two to one odds. If the show does not air, I'll buy you an entire case. If the show airs, you only have to buy me a half a case. So if you are serious, send me an e-mail message from a real address with your real name and phone number and we can make it official... The same bet holds for the wannabe investigative blog reporter who first started this rumor in the first place. She will have egg all over her face when the show airs. I hope everyone remembers that when the time comes and will then know who to listen to in the future. Who is the real reporter in the room?
