No media bias, eh?

Check out this lede (as it's spelled in the newspaper biz) from Canadian Press:
OTTAWA (CP) - Canada's natural governing party took its first tentative steps toward reconstruction and reconciliation Wednesday when defeated Prime Minister Paul Martin named Bill Graham as his interim Liberal replacement.
Bruce Cheadle wrote it. But editors approved it.

UPDATE: Well, well, well. As of late this morning (after the original post), a new lede has appeared.
OTTAWA (CP) - The Liberal party took its first tentative steps toward reconstruction and reconciliation Wednesday when defeated Prime Minister Paul Martin named Bill Graham as his interim Liberal replacement.
If I only had saved a screen shot.

Also interesting is that CP's Web site has stories -- last updated Jan. 27.

UPDATE 2: I got lucky... The London (Ont.) Free Press still has the original as of 1:30 this afternoon.

UPDATE 3: Chris, the spiritual successor to Sgt. Preston of the Yukon, and Joel, the Northland's Lee Greenwood, have screen captures at their sites.

UPDATE 4: At 10:08 Friday, just a little more than 24 hours after the original post, this post was visited by... the Canadian Press.
