The name of McCain's plane is newsworthy?

A County Fair readers points out the absurdity of the Washington Post today inserting the name of McCain's campaign plane into a news article about delicate bailout negotiations:

McCain's “Straight Talk Air” landed at Reagan National Airport just after noon, and his motorcade headed toward the Senate.

Compare that with how the New York Times handled the same set of facts:

Mr. McCain's campaign plane landed in Washington shortly before noon, when there was already tentative word of a bailout deal before he even set foot in the Capitol.

It seems obvious that by including the boosterish name of McCain's plane, the Post was simply inserting campaign talking point into a news story and propping up, on behalf of the candidate, his preferred image of a straight talker.
