Wow...! A media journalist with a spine...! (And more subliminal NYT bias...)

cool... very cool... as as the porteńos say, "re piola..."

For Bob Costas, the issue was not complicated.

The longtime NBC sports and talk show host, who signed on this year to be an occasional substitute for Larry King on CNN, resisted a request last Thursday to be the host of a King program devoted to interviewing guests about the already widely covered Natalee Holloway missing-person case in Aruba.

When he could not get the show's topic changed, Mr. Costas said he respectfully decided not to participate.

"I don't believe there was a single American who was sitting around saying 'I'd really like to see Bob Costas's take on this,' " Mr. Costas said in telephone interview.

now, what i would REALLY like to know is why the nyt accompanied this quite legitimate news story with a photo of bob costas and al franken when there was no mention of al franken in the story... oh, hell... i already KNOW the answer to THAT... it just grinds my ass to see such blatant editorializing in the supposedly "liberal" nyt, the major organ of the VLWC...
