Two CBS Primetime Specials Mark the Date

TL;DR

CBS files live memorial coverage and primetime specials including We Remember; two hours are not a second CIA dump.

MSM Perspective

CBS filed the night. We Remember already has its page. The dump is the lead.

X Perspective

Feeds treat a second special as a new intelligence finding.

CBS ran live memorial coverage and primetime specials on Friday, including We Remember at 8 p.m. [1] This paper printed that hour and the CIA dump. Two specials are not a second carton. Print the night. Do not reprint Langley.

A second primetime hour is still memorial copy. It is not a new PDB year. Keep the specials on this page. Keep the 71 briefs on the lead.

Friday recap that treats a second special as a new finding is a rerun, not CBS. Print two hours. Leave a Saturday recap to Saturday.
