Today, both have articles about Karl Rove's role in the firing of U.S. federal prosecutors. But the articles paint very different pictures.

The Post headline:

E-Mails Show Larger White House Role in Prosecutor Firings

The Post lede:

Political adviser Karl Rove and other high-ranking figures in the Bush White House played a greater role than previously understood in the firing of federal prosecutors almost three years ago, according to e-mails obtained by The Washington Post, in a scandal that led to mass Justice Department resignations and an ongoing criminal probe.

By contrast, the Times allows Rove to frame the story with its headline:

Rove Says His Role in Prosecutor Firings Was Small

The Times lede:

Karl Rove, addressing the dismissal of federal prosecutors in 2006 when he was a top adviser to President George W. Bush, said in a recent interview that he had sought status reports about vacancies in prosecutors' offices, pushed subordinates to find a job for a former deputy and monitored plans for dismissals as they evolved after Mr. Bush's re-election in 2004.

My guess is that Rove and his attorney liked the Times story better.
