More Preemptive Charter

AFTie John is all bummed out that the anti-climatic charter report might be even more anti-climatic than originally anticipated since it’s coming out at the same time the PDK poll is (a change from the allegedly original date of Thursday). Naturally, he smells a conspiracy. Alternative explanation: Since everyone knows what’s in the report, ED decided to move it up since the amount of pre-chatter was getting embarrassing. Who knows, maybe they are trying to bury it but since the PDK report has a lot on choice, linking the two doesn’t seem like a very smart strategy…seems more likely to amplify the coverage for an otherwise not very newsworthy report rather than bury it. Alternative explanation two: There’s been a real leak and they’re worried the actual report is on the street.
