CBS Evening News POUNCES on Romney's high school homophobic assault [View all]

on John Lauber, a junior when Romney was a senior.

I turned away from Al Sharpton on MSNBC and saw on CBS some of the very same visuals. CBS Political Correspondent Jan Crawford made the bullying assault story from today's Washington Post into a fairly long segment that ran near the top of the show.

Are the other national broadcast news reports doing the same thing?

Are you surprised at the coverage Romney's dark side is getting? I am.

WHAT'S YOUR OPINION?
