What's The Point?

Check out the following Editor and Publisher article.

What are they trying to say? Are they trying to insinuate it was Harriet Mier's fault that the 9/11 Plot was not divined from the August 6, 2001 Presidential Daily Briefing?

NEW YORK On its front page Tuesday, The New York Times published a photo of new U.S. Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers going over a briefing paper with President George W. Bush at his Crawford ranch "in August 2001," the caption reads.

USA Today and the Boston Globe carried the photo labeled simply "2001," but many other newspapers ran the picture in print or on the Web with a more precise date: Aug. 6, 2001.

I suppose some papers are going to handle it differently. Some papers still view their roles as news reporting, and others have other motives. What is your point Editor & Publisher magazine? Are you trying to derail the Harriet Mier's nomination?
