Some folks are noting this ridiculous complaint/threat by CBS News' Dean Reynolds. It's silly on first sight -- what, no one will do your reporting for you? It's hard to meet deadline? You have to get up early? The airplane smells bad? -- but I'll tell you something: This is a beautiful sign for God knows how many CBS underlings, who should immediately mention to Reynold's boss that if he doesn't like covering this historic presidential campaign, they'd love to. None of the folks above me here at TAP were complaining about cramming six people into two hotel bedrooms or waiting in security lines during the Democratic convention, but if they had been I certainly would have been first in line to suffer the hardships of reporting from Colorado.
