Is the Miley Cyrus-Vanity Fair photo scandal actual news? Some websites – us! – would say OMG YES YES YES and refute any notion that we aren't in the midst of our era's cultural epicenter, DISCUSSING THE MOST PRESSING ISSUE OF THE DECADE.

Then there are actual news outlets like the NBC Nightly News, the broadcast where Brian Williams practices his comedy routine.

On Monday night, he devoted over two minutes to the scandal, which is like 45,000 words in blog terms. Speaking of blogs, one notes, "That would be embarrassing enough for a news organization purporting to be credible." (via) By comparison, Wililams' segment on the Supreme Court's ruling on voter IDs commanded only about 80 seconds.

More embarrassing? That earlier on Monday, Williams also penned a much-noticed Daily Nightly blog post, criticizing the New York Times for, wait, what was it again? Oh, right: Running puff pieces.

But the biggest part of this controversy? That BriWi chronicler Rachel Sklar hasn't yet devoted a lengthy column to the topic on Huffington Post. (Update: Sklar is, apparently, out of this office this week.)
