  • News and the Plame Affair

    James of OTB noted yesterday that the news coverage of the Plame "outing" has seemed uneven. Now, he admits to having paid less than normal attention to the news, and I was in slow-news mode over the weekend myself (note the light blogging), but have noted this as well.

    I listened to NPR on the way to work this morning (although I admit to some channel flipping) and didn't here anything--and I expected it to be part of the headlines section. In flipping TV channels last night I saw Geraldo, Gertz and some other guy (an ex-CIA type) talking about it. I don't think it was on the front page of the local paper, nor has it been tops on a lot of news websites. Rather, it has been big in the Blogosphere, WaPo, and Drudge.

    It isn't on the home page of the NYT nor on the actual front page (indeed, while I may have overlooked it, there doesn't even appear to be a story in the NYT on this topic today).

    Anybody else had a similar experience?

    There are two new stories in WaPo, however:

  • Bush Aides Say They'll Cooperate With Probe Into Intelligence Leak

  • Media Review Conduct After Leak
