Alternatives to the Washington Post?

[laura888]

I've been reading the Washington Post for years, but have lately been disgusted by their right-leaning bias.

Is there an alternative daily newspaper that is not so biased?

I hate them.

4. Washington post is one of the few investigative newspapers yet.

I think it is one of the best in the nation in terms of objectivity.

6. 2 stories on the cover today

The Bush Dynasty article and the Rice article.

This is the hard-copy version, not the online version.

What especially got me was the headline for the continuation of the Rice story on page A4:

"Rice is Expected to Bring Charm, Flexibility to the Job" -

also the photos accompanying this article seemed unnecessarily worshipful:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A14268-2005Jan16.html

this is a woman who f***ked royally in her first job in this administration.

9. what did they have to say about Gary Webb's "suicide"?

as if someone who suffered so much at the hands of the dark lords would gift them with his own death. how many times did he have to shoot himself to get it right?
