Re: Shoot the Messenger
You could say the Washington Post was "strangely quiet" about the story too, possibly because it was a joint exclusive by the New York Times and The Observer. It's the lead story on the BBC's "Tech" news page with the carefully-punctuated headline "data firm accused of 'misleading' MPs" and referencing Observer reporting.
Not all news organisations simply cut and paste their rivals' stories into the headlines when they have no new reporting of their own to contribute.
