Late Breaks: Putin the Hurt on the Free Press

-Traitor, or double agent? Tony Snow, former Fox News anchor and Bush White House spokesman, is joining CNN. [Politico]

-Fox Business still isn't releasing its Nielsen ratings, and won't until it's positive that the numbers are more accurate. And how will it know when they're accurate? Why, when they're higher, of course. [TV Newser]

-Time's Mark Halperin is just like Matt Drudge, if Drudge were annoyingly ubiquitous instead of reclusive. [NYT]

-The Russian newspaper that claimed Vladimir Putin was planning to marry a 24-year-old gymnast has mysteriously shut down. And when I say "mysteriously," I mean it in the sense of "not mysterious at all, but good luck proving it." [Independent via Radar]. □
