Reply #13: Also, release stuff like this just at the beginning of a long holiday weekend.

Rather shrewd, really. The day before Thanksgiving. A lot of the programming is being truncated for the holiday. Lots of the A-level people are on vacation this week. Rachel had a fill-in, Melissa Harris Perry, on MSNBC Wednesday evening, and David Shuster subbed for Olberman, for example. The conventional term for it is called the "Friday Night News Dump" 'cause it happens on a Friday night before a weekend full of football coverage or everybody's-out-all-day-shopping. And by the time the newsrooms think it's time to care, either for the Sunday talk shows or - maybe in a case like this, picking up on it for the Monday shows, nobody'll care anymore, because other stuff has happened in the meantime that trumped it.
