Media Fail, Take 2

Well, at least one major newspaper gets it, at long last:

New York Times: "The [T.S.A.] pat-down story was the equivalent of vaporware — it seemed as if something huge was about to happen, but it turned out that it was a story about a story, the noisy, fervent sound of a news system feeding on itself."

And this episode is merely the latest example of media vaporware. But don't dwell on it -- you'll break your brain.
