Predictable Headlines from Predictable Sources

Here's how some major newspapers this morning delivered the news that a Texas judge threw out a campaign finance conspiracy charge against former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay:

Washington Post: "DeLay's Felony Charge Is Upheld"

USA Today: "Charges Against DeLay Stand"

New York Times: "Texas Judge Lets Stand 2 of 3 Charges Against DeLay"

Los Angeles Times: "Count is Dropped, But DeLay Still Faces Trial"

Meanwhile, the Washington Times had this: "DeLay's Conspiracy Charge Rejected"

I guess it depends how you view the development as to whether you should affirm the bad news or the good news -- as DeLay would see it, that is.
