Picked up via TPM, Jessica Yellin, formerly of ABC News states unequivocally that “executives” edited stories, pushed her stories in specific directions and otherwise forced Bush-positive coverage at every turn during the runup to the war.

And despite that enormous revelation, Cooper pointedly moves on without further explanation.

Prepare for the smear campaign against Yellin. Prepare to see he co-workers shun her.
Oh, yeah, good point about Cooper. He could have asked specifically which executives were involved. I’m sure someone else will (but I don’t mean someone else in the mainstream media, I mean someone in the blogosphere, where writers are actually interested in uncovering what happened)
Yeah, I fully expect to find her reporting from Alaska as the Chief Whale Puke Correspondent in the next few months.
Cooper acted like she’d farted on camera.
[...] went easy on the war effort - which has subsequently led to one reporter outing her bosses for exactly that - this is probably the barn-burner of the litterae apologia coming out of former administration [...]
