CBS's local affiliate in Chicago today threatened to stop covering the Illinois Senate race if the Republican candidate continues to harp on an issue extremely damaging to his Democratic opponent.
If a candidate for the United States Senate was a senior loan officer for a bank that made over $20 million in loans to convicted bookies and pimps (while he was employed as a loan officer), is that candidate's opponent in the wrong for harping on the issue?
Chicago's CBS affiliate apparently thinks such connections should be off limits. A reporter from Chicago's CBS Channel 2 told Mark Kirk, the Republican opponent of former Broadway Bank loan officer Alexi Giannoulias that his channel is "not going to cover the Senate race, if it’s consistently only in your terms, is about Broadway Bank."

But they have no problem putting Jack Ryan's dirty laundry out front and center.
Hypocritical SOB's.

They'll just be cutting their own throats doing that if this is played correctly...in the first place, anything sensational WILL be covered by the competition, and in the second, they will just add a whole 'nother level to the story by making it "Too explosive for CBS to handle!!!111!!!"
