Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- In a weekend article, the ombudsman for the Washington Post admitted that the liberal newspaper had a bias for pro-abortion candidate Barack Obama during the elections. The paper followed the article with a report on how the President-elect would overturn "ideologically offensive" pro-life policies.
On Sunday, Deborah Howell admitted that readers of her paper "have been consistently critical of the lack of probing issues coverage and what they saw as a tilt toward Democrat Barack Obama."
"My surveys, which ended on Election Day, show that they are right on both counts," she admitted.
Howell's internal examination of the Post's coverage found 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 about McCain, 58, than there were about Obama, 32, and Obama got the editorial board's endorsement," Howell added. "Stories and photos about Obama in the news pages outnumbered those devoted to McCain."
So how does one of the most biased newspapers in the nation follow up its election coverage of Obama? According to Kristen Fyfe of Newsbusters, it runs news articles on President-elect Obama with a heavy pro-abortion bias.
She noted the paper's coverage of the news that Obama would overturn pro-life policies of President Bush that stopped taxpayer-funding of abortion and embryonic stem cell research -- policies the Post described as "controversial," "onerous," and "ideologically offensive."

Oh, so saving the lives of innocent children is offensive? Do these people have any regard for human life??? Liberalism is evil, rotten and satanic to the core!!!!!
No, they are elitest and are above everyone else. They serve their messiah BHO
I was banned by the Washington Post for my comments on one of their articles. I did not swear, just spoke what was on my mind. Washington Post doesn’t want free comments, they just want what agrees with what they want to hear.
At Free Republic , we admit our bias, Why doesn’t the Washington Post do the same?
“All the horses gone? I’ll get the barn door...”
Get ready - the Obama camp is going to attempt to regulate speech. Pro Life *WILL* be on the hit list.
“No, they are elitest and are above everyone else. They serve their messiah BHO”
Obama may be a messenger, but he is not the one they serve. Bob Dylan had it right, you “Gotta Serve Somebody”, but he should have added the ACLU as an example.

HEAR HEAR! If you don’t want to have children, don’t have sex. Since when has sex become some sort of entertainment? It’s for a man and a woman. I pray for the day that Jesus will come to earth and absolve us once more of our sins.

One sided bigoted bias works for mainstream newspapers. Their numbers are up - readership’s at an all time high - advertisers are beating down the door to hook up with all those middle class subscribers... Who are we to complain? Anyway, other companies make a point of giving half their potential customers the finger... why there’s Macy’s - wait - they’re nice to anyone who comes in the door. Well, there’s Walmart - nope, they make everyone welcome. Hmm - anyone?
Nice list.
