That’s almost the exact line from the NBC Nightly News report from Lisa Meyers tonight. It was very clear was that they put their piece in the can much earlier in the day and added about two sentences about Ashcroft at the very end. It’s too bad because I generally think Meyers tries to be fair, but she came off as very biased — not because she is editorially but simply because she gave short-shrift to the newsier story which broke later in the day.
