PAGING MSSRS. KAUS, REYNOLDS, SULLIVAN...

Browsing my usuals this early afternoon before I hunker down and complete my History 145A paper, I noticed that Marshall and Drum were both discussing the Washington Post's latest story on L'Affaire Plame. Both bloggers made a similar observation: That the New York Times has been nowhere to be seen on this story. Kevin wonders:

Still, it's hard not to wonder if the Times even has someone assigned to this story. It seems like Bill Keller might be well advised to kick a little investigative ass down in the newsroom sometime soon.

And Marshall says:

The Times? What ever happened to the Times? Lord knows, I'm no Times-basher. But they've been totally AWOL on this story. In fact, they have the ironic and in many ways dubious distinction of having seen the story advanced far more on their OpEd page than in their news pages.

And now I throw it over to InstaHack, Hackfiles and Hackdrew Hackivan. We now have some empirical evidence in our hands. A big story hits, one that could have huge ramifications on the administration and the CIA/Pentagon/State/WhiteHouse civil war, and the Keller-led Times rests on its Manhattan laurels. Do you guys really think Howell Raines would have made the same mistake, were he still at the reigns?

Anyway...
