In political news, NBC's Chuck Todd handicapped the off-year elections. "The political climate has been volatile," he reckoned with third-party candidates intruding into two-party races for Governor in New Jersey and for Congress in upstate New York…President Barack Obama's call for the nation's public schools to work longer days and longer years is being contradicted in his native state, ABC's David Wright reported. Budget cuts have given Hawaii's schoolchildren three-day weekends. Its year now has just 163 school days, compared with 220 in its Pacific neighbor South Korea and 243 in Japan…FOX News Channel has been dismissed by the White House "not a real news organization at all," observed CBS' Jeff Greenfield. He quoted Chip Reid, his own network's correspondent at the White House, on the mainstream media's response when FNC was excluded from a press pool interview at the Treasury Department: "All the networks said That is it! You have crossed the line." Unfortunately Greenfield's coverage of such journalistic solidarity has not been posted online.
