A trusted source in Republican circles points out a funny thing about that big story in the P-I recently about the robust appearance of a political quid pro quo between Christine Gregoire and our state's Native American tribes: a certain other paper in Seattle hasn't covered the news...at all.

Not only did the P-I story run last Friday (see related discussion at Sound Politics here), the AP picked it up as well. The wire version ran in papers across the state, including in Spokane, Tacoma, Vancouver, and Yakima. This is after all one of the biggest news stories of the year on THE political race to watch in the Evergreen State.

One can understand not granting newsprint to a rival's story. Yet, when every other major paper in the state is picking it up off the AP wire, one would think the Seattle Times could at least link to that version on their website.

Not that they really understand how to use that medium either, but that's a post for another day. And for now, we can rest assured the Times apparently doesn't think an obvious case of policy making having an unhealthy link with huge campaign contributions is worthy of attention - especially when it involves a Governor up for re-election.
