Ho-hum coverage

Salt Lake City's two daily newspapers provided rather simplistic coverage of yesterday's hearing in the Senate Judiciary Committee regarding the nomination of Tom Griffith for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. The Deseret Morning News merely ran a wire story, while The Salt Lake Tribune, in a pedestrian fashion, recited the dispute over law licensing but failed to mention any Title IX issues.

Meanwhile, Fox News left no doubt it thinks the dispute over Griffith's failure to pay bar fees is a trifle being carried on by partisan hacks. What's unclear about the Fox News story (and this won't come as a big surprise) is whether this is news or opinion.
