thallub,

1). Atkisson is with CBS, not ABC;

2). Until Atkisson's report, no major network or traditional news outlet had covered it, period. I tried to get the Atlanta Journal Constitution to look into it, but my emails to the editor went unanswered. After Atkisson's report, other networks finally started "covering" F&F, primarily by saying it was a continuation of the Bush administration's "Wide Receiver," which was false.

Your last post is simply inaccurate.
