    1. Duncan was on the frontpage of Washington Post.
    2. He was in The New Yorker, La times, Ny times, and almost every single newspaper in the country.
    3. Besides being on MSNBC, CNN and NPR profiled him

    I'm sorry but this was THE story of the day Tuesday. Duncan's question was actualy 2 minutes, too.

    Scalia is a bigot, plain and simple. Gays getting married does not kill people. Murder does. Scalia thinks you can compare the too. You can't.

    Shame on all the people who defend Scalia- he is a homophobic menace

    One doesn't have to be a homophobe to think that this shit was blown way out of proportion.

    I also find it amusing how many gay republicans are flocking to defend Scalia's bigotry.

    Ah, good. Meta meta news is my favorite kind of news.

    Most overblown news events tend to end with these kinds of meta-articles asking whether the media overcovered the event. In other words, this article answers the question it raises just by existing.
