Extra! It now turns out that
New England Cable News had the story about the Vatican document on
July 28 -- a day earlier than the Worcester Telegram &
Gazette and the Lawrence Eagle-Tribune. Click
here and watch "Church
Critics Seek Charges."
Okay, let's get this out of the way
once and for all: Media Log does not rule out the possibility that
another news org reported this even before NECN. Hey, maybe someone
even reported it in 1962!
And not only did CBS News not
"uncover" this, but we now know that its Wednesday report wasn't even
"the first time that this has been reported on television," as CBS
spokeswoman Sandy Genelius told me yesterday.
