The Times is now trying to explain that Stanley was given too many assignments that day - she also had to cover the cable news reaction to the Supreme Court decisions. That's bogus because Curry's farewell was around 8:50AM and the Supreme Court decisions started trickling out after 10AM. Stanley didn't watch it live and didn't even bother to record it. For a paper with some good reporters who cover television - Carter, Stelter, Carrr - she's a disaster. TVG -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
