The self-obsession of the media elites has reached a new level in its hyperbolic coverage of the New York Times’ firing of Jill Abramson, comparing the saga to the investigation surrounding the tragic deaths of four Americans at Benghazi.

Via Mashable's Jim Roberts:

The coverage of the Abramson-NYT gender-pay-gap scandal reached critical mass in the last few days, particularly with New York Magazine, which continues to load its homepage with stories. Monday morning the big news was Abramson's Wake Forest commencement address.

Response on Twitter to the tasteless Benghazi comparison has been far from positive.
