What should a media outlet do if it has a bombshell news story on a candidate for president of the United States? Should it run the story? Should it wait until an "appropriate" time... say, perhaps after a major primary election? If a media outlet does "sit" on the bombshell news, is it even news or are they deciding the outcome by not running it? These are the questions to consider as ABC News ponders when to run an interview of Newt Gingrich's ex-wife... an interview that is said to be "explosive."
