Shocka! NY Times Mentions Michael Murphy; (UPDATE) Video Added

Finally, after a couple of weeks of derision from the blogosphere, the New York Times has managed to find space to honor Lt. Michael Murphy.

A Protector as a Child, Honored as a Hero

Today, President Bush will award Lieutenant Murphy, a team leader from Patchogue, the Medal of Honor, the nation’s highest military award. Mr. Bush will present it to Lieutenant Murphy’s father and mother, Daniel and Maureen, in a ceremony scheduled to take place in the East Room.

Thanks for noticing, folks.

In another shocker, even the AP now notices the story. Looks like this item was culled completely from last week's New York Post story.
