CNN claims it got WalMart to drop the suit against the Shanks...
http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/law/04/02/walmart.decision/index.html

Read down the article a ways and you'll see this...

CNN told the couple's story last week, prompting thousands of angry blog responses and at least two online petitions to boycott the company.

I know that KO has made it his mission this week to get this lawsuit dropped. I didn't see any campaign by CNN against WalMart. I think it's pretty presumptuous of CNN to claim responsibility for WalMart's actions.

3. My sentiments exactly...
I didn't see Lou Dobbs or AC outside any WalMart stores. I did see Keith give them the Worst Person In The World 4 nights in a row though.

9. In due fairness to CNN, Anderson Cooper has been on top of this too.

11. Of course CNN is only going to tell their part of the story.
Looks as if they were on it too. Anderson Cooper especially.

Good. If that's what it took to get Wal-Mart to act, whatever it takes!
