Interesting blackmouth... I did a google search, results:

1. (news) Federal Times coverage of the story -- owned by Gannett -- Certainly part of the new right media
2. (news) Fox Ignores Its Reporting To Paint Federal Employees as Hypocritical -- (Media Matters, left leaning, reporting ON Fox's reporting)
3. (web) Repeat #1
4. (web) Investors Business Daily (rightwing)
5. (web) Repeat #2
6. (web) Washington Post
7. (web) Piscatorial Pursuits (this thread!!!)

Sure seems like an echo chamber story to me...
