Why wasn't this a front-page headline in today's LA Times?
N. KOREA AGREES IN PRINCIPLE TO TAKE INITIAL STEPS TO DISMANTLE NUKE PROGRAM
It isn't even mentioned on the front page. There's an article about North Korea, but it doesn't mention the nuke program:
A rescuer of Korea's forgotten
An activist's network helps free countrymen who had been abducted and held by the North, such as a fisherman who escaped after 32 years.
Sure, that's way more important than dismantling the nuke program of madman Kim Jong Il.
Let's see what else was more important, per today's LA Times (some articles have different headines on the web than in print):
That's right, all those stories were way more important than the story about a potential deal to dismantle North Korea's nuke program.
Similar stories were reported yesterday by news outlets including Forbes and the Houston Chronicle, so it appears the LA Times had the opportunity to put the story on the front page should it have wished to do so. The story is also buried on the home page of the LA Times' web site, in small print close to the bottom of the page, under "AP News."
This is a rather dramatic example of the LA Times refusing to give prominence to any story that makes GWB look good.
Remember this next time you see a story about polls showing low approval numbers for GWB. Those low approval numbers in part measure the extent to which MSM buries the news about GWB's achievements.

I appreciate the clear concise Issue approach here.
The L.A. Times will get entirely re-organized when up to 3 million refuges pass thru downtown after Long Beach Harbor is wiped out by a small 10 kiloton plutonium bomb in a shipping container, sent by North Korea's 600 mafia families controlling their little slice of hell.
3 million refugees flooding out of L.A. ? Oh we didn't mention the destruction of Long Beach Harbor Feeding the Western U.S. and the oil refining capacity that feeds five states ? and the simple matter of 60,000 immediately dead and 150,000 wounded and burned who have only a 50% chance to make it.
Never heard of it ? It's all in Rand Corporation Study done for
the department of Homeland Security in 2004.

The L.A. Times won't get it then either ... but by then it won't matter.
