Walking and chewing gum

Two big-breaking news events are unfolding simultaneously: The scary nuclear disaster in Japan and imminent US/NATO military intervention in Libya. I'm confident the Obama administration can walk and chew gum (plus fire cruise missiles) at the same time. The question is can the news media? Right now, most of the focus is on Japan. Libya has become an afterthought. Will coverage change once air strikes (now likely) begin against Gaddafi? It will be interesting to watch.
