The changing character of Washington Post

citanon · 05-04-2008, 02:19 AM

Is it me, or is the Post shifting its emphasis away from the inside workings of national politics into more local DC news and more prosaic issues?

washingtonpost.com - nation, world, technology and Washington area news and headlines

I used to consider the Post one of the more interesting papers out there, but lately I've become disappointed.

Its not just the WP; my local paper Newsday claims that they "print all the local news thats fit to print" but yet its becoming the opposite of the WP; its moving more towards national and world news rather then Long Island/NYC/NYC Metro news stories.

Unlike the WP it is also extremely biased towards the left and in many cases outright slanders Republican/Conservative politicians and activists. Thankfully they are about to be brought out by Rupert Murdoch so hopefully that will change.
