Did the Today programme decide that day six of the Ashcroft story was a bigger story than day one of the military chiefs' attack on Brown for dissembling?

Iain makes a good point in the frontpage comments thread:

The editorial choice:

Which story does the BBC put in its prime slot at 8.10 am on the Today programme?

A Prime Minister accused by military top brass of dissembling, or the Ashcroft story that they have covered on the hour, every hour, of every day of the last week...?

You know the answer. Today did cover the military chiefs' attack on Brown but only after they'd flogged the Ashcroft story one more time in that 8.10am slot.
