How Jesus of Nazareth was inadvertently betrayed

“So, Jesus of Nazareth.” He looked around the table expectantly. No-one responded. It was unbelievable. They were the most powerful and capable men in the land but they couldn’t decide what to do about a nobody.
He took a deep breath. It looked as if he would have to start the meeting. “Ok, what about the media?” The media was supposed to be a good indication of how important - or dangerous - someone was, depending how you looked at it. The more important the media believed they were, the more coverage they were given.
“The Jerusalem Tablet gave him five paragraphs last week.” It was Judas Iscariot, the committee’s media analyst.
“Is that unusual?”
“It’s pretty unusual. Prophets, soothsayers, wise men etc., it usually just gives them a couple of paras (paragraphs.)”
The Tablet regularly published snippets about the various prophesies and `miracles’ that flourished in the land, on the grounds that they were human interest stories and that its readers were interested in them.
“What about the Nazareth ‘papers?”
“Paper. There’s only one. The Nazareth Nibbler. Mostly ads. It ran a couple of stories about him. They ran it as `local carpenter has unusual views’ or something like that. They didn’t go into too much detail. They were more interested in a table that he’s making, I forget why, might have been an unusual wood.”
“It isn’t surprising they call it the Nibbler” somebody laughed.
“Where did they use the story?”
“Somewhere in the middle - not on the front page, anyway. It might have been under a weather report - dust storms maybe, can’t remember.”
“So its fair to say that he hasn’t attracted much media attention,” the president surmised. 
“That’s putting it mildly” somebody jeered.
Iscariot thought about this. “I wouldn’t be complacent.”
“The fact that the Tablet gave him, what was it - three paragraphs more than anybody else doesn’t mean anything..does it?” said the president.
Iscariot shifted uneasily. “I don’t know, I have a feeling about this story.”
“Well let’s hear it - what kind of feeling?”
He leaned forward, aware that what he was about to say wasn’t just about Jesus of Nazareth as a media story, aware that what he was about to say could have …certain consequences for him. But what else could he do?
“I sense that this story - this Jesus - could be important, that he could arouse..certain sentiments” he finally confessed.
They, the most powerful and capable men in the land, looked at each other thoughtfully.
