Another scoop for Pajamas Media? Or another rehash from Reuters?

It seems Chuckles is a little pissed that the New York Times have broken yet another story about Bush Media and the planting of propaganda in Iraq. He goes into extreme detail (well, extreme detail for him) by writing a whole sentence of snark questioning the importance of the story compared to other news (well, he tries bless his little cotton socks). So as a guide to what breaking a story doesn't look like we'll compare the NYT's effort to our favourite Lame Stream Media output.

Jack Abramoff pleads guilty (source Reuters)
Google PC's (source LA Times)
Nepali ceasefire (source Nepali blogger & Reuters)
Governor Blanco (source The Advocate, Baton Rouge)
Yahoo TV (source San Francisco Chronicle)

Yawn. That's what's happening in the world people. Of course the New York Times has slightly more comprehensive look at what's been happening around the world.

You'd think before ridiculing someone else's exclusive content you'd be sure that your 'MSM slaying' new project was producing some itself wouldn't you?

PS For a company that was paying bloggers and had a budget of about $7 million dollars you'd think they could manage more than two stories yesterday wouldn't you?
