Damage Control Kicks In?

Monday AOL News logged the NY Times report on the Chicago 9/11 conference as their Most Popular News Story throughout the day and over 180,000 people responded to the attached poll. (See AOL version here.)

It has now completely vanished from the Most Popular page (and every other story list on the site), despite the fact that only about 70,000 people voted in the week's Most Popular story poll. And consider the even odder fact that Google "9/11" News Alerts still do not list the NY Times story (and they also declined to run the Zogby poll press release even though PRWeb sent it to them at least three times). "What's up?"
