Whither Uighur?

I”m a regular reader of Andrew Sullivan’s blog. His coverage of the Iranian protests was great, I thought, and he preened a fair bit (and deservedly) about how he was doing much better than the MSM.

Okay. But now you go over there and… — lots on Palin, lots on second stimulus, lots on this and that, but not a blessed word about the conflagration in China, or, for that matter, about the coup in Honduras (which he did cover a few days ago.)

Which is fine, I guess. Iran is pretty clearly more geopolitically important than either of these other messes. And maybe he’s just more interested in it. But it is a little distressing that, when the mainstream media completely folds next year, I’ll only get to hear about the bloody internal conflicts that strike Sullivan’s particular fancy.
