Too many great details for a headline

This has it all. Disgraceful behavior by the Bush administration, major Republican going after it, false case (bad law and faked evidence) against a Democrat, pathetic attempt at news blackout in northern Alabama, and a reason to be dubious about the AP.

The timing of the outage is extremely suspicious, but as far as I can tell it hasn't been proven to be intentional yet.

What are the odds, though? It's not as though blank spots in the middle of news programs usually happen. Can you think of any others?

Having read in a bit more detail, I see that the station claimed that the problem was "a techincal problem with CBS out of New York," and that CBS says there was no problem on its end. Sounds quite dubious.
