Howard Kurtz is punished by being put on the Rielle Hunter beat. A cruel god will keep him there forever. No story on how the media ducked the story, however! And shouldn’t he take a good hard look at why he, Howard Kurtz, didn’t do a story about how media critics like him didn’t do a story about why media critics like him didn’t do a story on that failure? This brings the number of the potential stories the media avoided during the Edwards news blackout to six!

Hitsville is traveling and may or may not get to see Reliable Sources this a.m.; if Kurtz does take a look at the Edwards imbroglio, will he address this separate issue: How media critics refused to do stories about the noncoverage?
