"I don't have a problem with that as long as they don't editorialize in "news" columns (which they do) nor filter by burying or omitting significant stories (which they do)."

ummm..Mav...it seems to me that ALL newsmedia editorializes a bit...this OTHER paper in my area distorts, edits and colors the news to suit the more conservative side of things...even more so than the Washington Post and other more 'liberal' media do....Are they lying bastards? Or do only 'elitists' (whatever that is) lie?

As the old saying goes.."It all depends on whose ox is being gored"
