Quite right, Drudge's story is understated. So is there any special reason the Broadsheet piece speaks of a "frenzy" and "circus" and describes media folk as "ready to soil themselves with excitement?" Are we facetiously implying that media are in fact downplaying the significance of Ms. Couric's likely ascension to the anchor chair? Trust, they're saving the milestone analysis for when there's, you know, a story to write.
For what it's worth, Drudge's prominent lead link and image concern the complaints against and by Rep. Cynthia McKinney after her run-in with Capitol Police. There's your media circus. Looking forward to Broadsheet's take.
