CONTAINING LINKS TO 1280 STORIES FROM THE NETWORKS' NIGHTLY NEWSCASTS
     COMMENTS: CBS Gets Serious with Stump Series

CBS is stepping up its campaign feature coverage. Last week it unveiled its Reality Check beat: Wyatt Andrews fact-checked Sarah Palin's record on porkbarrel spending; Tuesday Andrews fact-checked her Bridge to Nowhere claims; Wednesday Bill Plante looked at John McCain's negative advertising. Next we have CBS' Where They Stand issues analysis: Tuesday Anthony Mason looked at the candidates' income tax platforms; now Lara Logan examines their troops-out plans for Iraq. "The gap between them has narrowed," she assured us. The third feature series strikes a lighthearted note, pledging a weekly review of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly on the campaign trail from Jeff Greenfield. This week's ugly was an obscenity laden anti-Democrat online attack ad from the Bruce Lunsford-Mitch McConnell Senate race in Kentucky.
