Reporting something in the news should mean that that 'thing' or newsitem is newsworthy. There are a few checks on the newsworthy checklist, but basically it should be new and relevant information. NEW information. Something that people don't already know. Something that people shouldn't already know.
Seriously?

NO KIDDING the Taliban and AQ weren't on good terms before we started bombing.

There is no freaking way that this should be presented as novel information.
(Can you tell I'm a little riled up about this? Come ON people- get a clue! Do some research about what is actually going on!)
