Fronting Cross Promotion

The JS is fronting an article today on how a picture mocking Senator Kerry appeared on Charlie Sykes' blog, which then led the picture to the Drudge Report and elsewhere on the Internet.

This is front-page news?

I suppose I shouldn't be so surprised considering the JS and WTMJ are owned by the same company, Journal Communications.

Nothing like a little cross-promotion.

But, seriously, does it need to be on the front page?
