This story is made for this debate!
This has everything that makes the debate about what constitutes "Breaking News" so interesting.
- The story is not new, just new to the sources we cover here. The National Enquirer has been telling this story for two weeks (minus the confession of course).
- While reading through news blogs the last two weeks it has been fun to read about the story as it was always framed by the question "when would it be covered by the mainstream media". I guess we have the answer now.
- Both then and now the question of coverage seems to break down quickly across party lines. The blogesphere is already jammed with every Republican seemingly complaining that the media held back on this one versus coverage of the "wide stance" or McCain's supposed affair (New York Times controversial story two months ago).
- Equally interesting is how bloggers are reacting to ABC's coverage. It appears ABC broke into regular TV programming to break this "exclusive" story and that helps the great "Breaking News " debate.
- Other networks who sent out alerts did give ABC credit for the story (except for Fox) |

I figured Fox would be shouting this story off the rooftops.

ABC has the exclusive - breaks into TV according to this - and yet does not send out an alert. Sounds like they were struggling with this story.

Interesting coverage. Surely CNN could get a better photo of "the other woman" ?

I saw where in a previous interview he answered that he sinned every day - not bad for a man his age.

It's not news at all. It's his private life - he is not running for anything (and he sure won't be on the ticket as VP now)
