Breaking News: John McCain speechwriter switches sides to Barack Obama's camp

The BBC are unsurprisingly running this story near the top of their news pages. Apparently one of John McCain's speechwriters has switched sides and is now working for Barack Obama. The speechwriter Wendy Button said:

"Since I started writing speeches more than ten years ago, I have always believed in the Republican Party. Not anymore. Not after the election of 2008. This transformation has been swift and complete and since I’m a woman writing in the election of 2008, “very emotional."

A typical good news for Barack Obama and so the BBC are highlighting this important story......................

Just one small snag, Wendy Button has actually moved from Barack Obama's campaign to John McCain's (the only word I changed in the quotation above was from "Democrat" to "Republican"). Of course this means that the BBC have decided that the story is not worth reporting - I wonder why?
