Despite having found the time to cover Kate Moss's purported cocaine use and to put one of its correspondents in a wind tunnel to demonstrate the effects of hurricane-force wind, ABC's World News Tonight has yet to mention the brewing scandal over the sale of Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist's (R-TN) stock in HCA Inc., the hospital chain founded by Frist's father, just two weeks before a bad earnings report caused the stock price to drop sharply. The nightly news broadcasts of CBS and NBC didn't do much more, both giving the story brief mentions on September 23.
Look, this is big. This is the same offense that sent Martha Stewart to prison. (Except that it involves a LOT more money.) And I'm telling you, if Frist doesn't do time for this I'm going to know that Martha was sent up because she's a woman and a Democrat.
Sorry Sr. Ellie, but you failed to mention the third thing which got Martha sent to prison. She was a SUCCESSFUL woman who was a Democrat. Had she not been such a successful (also read powerful) woman; they would have never touched her. Carolyn L.
