Did threat of libel suit cause this or something else?

A lawyer for Bing says that is not true. He says the two men are friends but the only business relationship they have had is that Montemarano acted in a movie produced by Bing.

1. ABC not accusing Bing (a Democrat)

to quote:

As ABC News reported last week, no one is accusing Bing himself of any criminal wrongdoing or any involvement in Montemarano's criminal activity.

No, they are just trying their best to smear the name of a big Democratic contributor and fundraiser.

and now they are, as we say in the South, crawfishing in what they originally reported. I suppose the bottom line is simply that they suck and will smear-for-taxcuts.
