Deborah Howell, Washington Post Ombudsman, finally acknowledged what most of us who read newspapers regularly already knew: the Washington Post is not objective and gave Obama overwhelmingly biased reports for over a year, leading to the election of 2008.Here's an excerpt from her report, dealing with only one part of any newspaper, the opinion page:
"The op-ed page ran far more laudatory opinion pieces on Obama, 32, than on Sen. John McCain, 13. There were far more negative pieces (58) about McCain than there were about Obama (32), and Obama got the editorial board's endorsement. The Post has several conservative columnists, but not all were gung-ho about McCain." (source)
