Is the outrage unsustainable?

An unfortunately sloppy and poorly put-together post, edited for clarity:

I dunno…it feels to me like the NY Times is going to win this round in the ongoing battle by bloggers to get the Mainstream Media to grow the hell up and re-embrace their craft. I guess that “the paper of record” is going to get away with printing not a word – not a single word – concerning the misuse of public funds by Air America Radio, about whom they have written some 67 gushing articles.

Twelve days into it, and the Times is still silent, and some in the blogosphere are, I think, getting weary of the topic.

I know I am.

I’m sick to death of reading about Al Franken who seems inarticulately trapped between growling and guffaws on the subject.

Although they’re still energetically atop the story, even Michelle Malkin and Ed Morrissey don’t have much new to add, today, although Ed does point out that Air America itself is covering the story, while the NY Times, still, still is not.

Chris Muir is doing his part with another insightful cartoon, today. But it seems Sister Toljah’s weekend analysis that the MSM is pushing back against the blogs by refusing to report on this story is very likely quite right.

Okay, folks…I know the Times sat stoic through all the emails and phone calls – how ironic, that they hate George W. Bush’s “inflexible and stubborn resolve” and yet on this issue they are mimicking it – more and more they are becoming precisely the thing they hate! How Pauline! They’ve sat through condemnation and jeering. Clearly, they’re just going to sit this whole story out. What a paper. Of record.

Oh…but looky here…they are “incurious” about Air America’s fraud…but they’re covering Mrs. Sheehan. They think the President should be visiting more wounded (hint – he does, often) and going to funerals…although they don’t actually say how it should be determined which funeral he should attend, or how that makes anything better, since famillies without a Presidential attendance will feel slighted. They want him to have photo ops, but if he did they would castigate him for exploiting the soldiers…they want…they want…they just want Bush OUT of there, and someone they love back in power, that’s all! And nothing, nothing Bush can do would or could ever please them. And Mrs. Sheehan riding her “Impeachment Tour” bus…she’s their new heroine. Because, as we saw earlier this week, the NY Times cannot find heroes in this war.

How utterly predictable. Anything that is perceived as “hurting” President Bush or the war effort gets ink. Anything that could possibly reflect badly on the left…does not.

That’s sooooome paper of record.
