Wash Post getting defensive on Operation Gunwalker

Article here. Its defense is that it did run a story on February 1, and a more extensive one on July 26. I think it valid, though, to ask why the six month silence in between, while CBS and others were breaking the story (starting in March). I mean... in April, Issa threatens Admin officials with contempt. Nothing in the Post. In mid-June, the Committee held hearings. The Wall St Journal covered it, the Post kept silent. On July 7, it was public knowledge that Acting Director Melson had met secretly with committee investigators. Nothing in the Post.
