The Press is chuckling with glee...

The Deborah Coddington/Roger Kerr story has more life in it. Catherine Judd, the ACT President, denied that she knew anything about the matter in an attempt to douse the storm in the teacup. The only problem was that the Press had obtained a copy of a letter which demonstrated that Catherine knew about the matter.

Oops.

So a story that was one of the three stories on yesterday's frontpage (a coverage that was excessive) now covers the entire frontpage today! I think the Press has lost a sense of proportion over the whole matter as the malfeasance is trivial and there's other major newsworthy stories happening (such as the Air Adventure's coronial inquiry).
