Media Matters notes that Politico virtually ignored the Rudy Bailed on the ISG story. Apparently the absence of a haircut made it "not news." And it appears that Mark Halperin will have to change his saying to "Politico rules our world," as Kevin Drum notes the paucity of coverage in the Media:

Remember that Newsday story from yesterday about Rudy Giuliani getting kicked off the Iraq Study Group because he couldn't find the time in his busy schedule to attend their meetings? You could be excused if you don't, since apparently no one in our press corps considered either the news itself or Giuliani's laughable explanation for his absences to be worth commenting on. . . . [I]s this seriously not considered news? A guy who's running for president based on his reputation as a hero of 9/11 was given a seat on the highest profile group ever created to investigate a way forward in Iraq, but he decided it wasn't worth his time? He blew off James Baker and Lee Hamilton so that he could give speeches in South Korea and attend fundraisers for Ralph Reed in Atlanta? And the consensus reaction is a big yawn?

It needs a haircut angle Kevin. Don't you know anything about journalism?
