The problem isn't the MSM, it's the self-appointed gatekeepers of the conservative blogosphere, Michelle Malkin, Hoitie Air and the Daily Caller who tried to beat down this story such that talk radio has ignored it.

Drudge finally got around to linking to one of the reports about it today.

And, I might add, they did so after Jindal's people intervened and poured cold water on the story.

Why are they trying to kill the story?

I tend to agree with you here and it’s not the first time it has happened. Don’t visit the Daily Caller much though..so don’t have much to say about that site.

To be fair, the story initially appeared on Drudge on Monday night. I'm pretty sure that his was the first conservative-oriented site to publicize the story... but then it disappeared from his pages.

I'm not sure what the heck is going on with this story. But I do know that Pat Dollard is a close associate with Andrew Breitbart and if there the full story is uncovered, you can bet that Breitbart's sites will let in the sunshine.

Regarding the alleged photo, I sure hope somebody is doing some fact-checking on that to confirm the individuals pictured... looks like a typical drunk in NOLA scene...
