7. 60 minutes bumped the niger story for the bush national guard story.
After that blew up, CBS was under pressure from the Administration to "atone" and it spiked the Niger story saying they would run it later but never did.

I think CBS also said it was "too close to the election" to run a story that might impact the election, if memory serves. Imagine that. A story of such significance that it may influence the outcome of the Presidential election and they withold it from the American public.
