Putin's revelation and the media

Washington Times:

The fact that the president of Russia effectively is taking Mr. Bush's side on the question of whether Saddam posed a threat to this country is a major news story and should be treated as such. That it is not getting this kind of coverage suggests that many journalists do not have their priorities straight.

The 'news' that the 9/11 commission 'refuted' ties between Al Qaeda and Iraq was of course far more important.
