Reopening this posting, the Downing Street memo gets yet more coverage today.

Salon's Eric Boehlert is bang on the money:

"The memo story epitomizes a mainstream press corps that is genuinely afraid to ask tough questions and write tough stories about the Bush administration.

"Worse, in the case of the Downing Street memo, it simply refuses to report on the existence of a plainly newsworthy document."


Jim Cox from McNewspaper USA Today admits he missed a trick:

"I wish we'd had something in early on, and I wish we'd been able to move the memo story forward. I feel like we missed an opportunity, and that's my fault."
