That aside, you're right, since the BBC and Sydney Morning Herald stories first began running the story it has been picking up steam, gaining some legs and showing up in the US media. In more significant numbers then the NONE y'day morning (thurs..)when I first saw discussion of the issue.
I am beginning to understand why, since it is being used to lump the entire conservative base into one loony gaggle of SBSP haters...more specifically GAY sbsp haters.
I should have seem that coming.
I do not completely understand how the wire services work, however I do know what a headline, dateline and byline are. I am not a journalist. I am a consumer.

I would also like to point out that today the big news was the Presidential Inaguration... all media outlets were on there about that subject.. side note:weird that the local UPN affiliate was using a feed from Fox News with all the graphics and logos I'm wondering if that's the CBS way of keeping the news from seeming like a duopoly.
But for me to see it in print this morning meant that it was already in the journalists hands as of yesterday or VERY early this morning....
I am not a journalist either, but I try to be an informed consumer. AP/Reuters/UPI are the most often syndicate articles (on top of daily columns), you'll see them from coast to coast and edge to edge of the globe. It's one of the reasons why all the news is very stagnant. Heck some of the papers don't even double check the wire services and they have mistakes all the time from spelling errors to factual errors as the story is developing and changing and those end up in your local paper too.
