ABC's choice of lead story was an aberration with so much other news being made. John Berman's (embargoed link) story on the decline in the cost of a barrel of crude oil to $115 was almost indistinguishable from the story filed by his colleague Betsy Stark (embargoed link) on Tuesday about the decline to $119. The law of supply and demand is having its way, Berman asserted. The price falls as demand for oil is weakening in Asia, Europe and the United States: "You have to be careful not to cheer too hard for a global economic slowdown," economists warned him. The cost of gasoline inspired a cute closer on CBS. Steve Hartman's Assignment America brought us the stylings of singer-songwriter Chris Bell, who plays the coffeehouse circuit of upstate New York. To stop frittering away his tips on transportation, Bell's concert tour is traveling along the Erie Canal by canoe, paddling from Buffalo to Albany, with a detour to Ithaca, to a September gig down the Hudson River in New York City.
