MSM and the Connecticut Land Grab

I noticed an odd thing during our weekend viewing, but wanted to check before I shot off my mouth here. Having ascertained that my initial impression was indeed correct, I will share it with you now.
KELO has fallen off the map. In one day’s time.
There. I said it.
The only political/news show to mention it from the day after the decision through the entire weekend was (drumroll) PBS’s NewsHour! I mean, CNN’s Inside Politics had Chris Shays (R-Conn) as a guest, for gawdssake, and NOT WORD ONE. We were back to a missing blonde in Aruba, sprinkled with intermittent Mad Cows and a shark attack, as if Kelo was merely a cosmic burp in the space/time continuum.
Something’s wrong with that picture.

    Yeah, but let one of those people defend their property rights with firearms, and it would be all about gun-nuts and gun-control.

    It’s the “pretty white girl with mad cow disease attacked by a shark” syndrome. I have seen this before…

    Gee, the state grabbing private land? Why would that be news?
