Its heavily corrected text is of outstanding importance for the history of the Bible and the manuscript - the oldest substantial book to survive Antiquity - is of supreme importance for the history of the book.

More like popular news sites like Slashdot linked to it and claimed it had no account of Jesus' resurrection, thereby setting of a firestorm of ignorant silliness.
