CONTAINING LINKS TO 58103 STORIES FROM THE NETWORKS' NIGHTLY NEWSCASTS
     TYNDALL HEADLINE: HIGHLIGHTS FROM JULY 06, 2007
The so-called Doctors' Plot--the botched trio of carbombs that failed to inflict mayhem in London and Glasgow last weekend--stubbornly refuses to disappear from the headlines. NBC led with the latest scraps from the case: some new videotape from the fire at Glasgow Airport has been released and a pair from the alleged cell put out feelers to practice medicine in the United States. This is fourth weekday out of the last six that this has been Story of the Day. Enough! ABC and CBS certainly allowed their attention to wander: CBS led with the western heatwave; ABC, which ran with the heatwave Wednesday and Thursday, chose an odd lead that both of its rivals ignored. The Justice Department estimates that $1bn in claims for federal aid after Hurricane Katrina were fraudulent.
