Now that’s a shocker.
[About the mysteriously delayed and poorly advertised CBS Abu Ghraib story] Despite the story's importance, and because of the obvious negative impact the story would have on the Bush administration with which Viacom and CBS wished to curry favor, CBS management attempted to bury it.

If there's any argument in favor of re-enacting the thicket of regulations that used to fetter the media, this is it. As far as I'm concerned, it's a good reason to pull all of CBSes licenses, but it's possible that I'm being a bit draconian here, so I'd be happy if the media oligarchy was split into several thousand little squabbling competitors.
But I'm not going to hold my breath.
