If the ComPost would constrain its “objective journalists” from America’s graduate schools of journalism to straight reporting - as it does here - I might actually buy it once in a while.

Interesting story.

I go through the same thing with the Wash Post. I get so fed up with it I could scream, and then they print a well written article on an interesting, compelling subject, like this one, and there I am. Just when I was about to deep-six the Sunday magazine, they had an excellent piece on the couple who were with Lincoln when he was assassinated, whose family life ended sadly in insanity. They have done an even-handed and informative job on that ongoing story about the young lawyer who was murdered while spending the night in a house with his "friends."

All that said, their coverage of the Virginia governor's race has been laughable. In cases like this (Obama included), the Post political editors and writers envision them selves as king-makers and players, rather than responsible reporters of a race. Their transparent efforts at manipulating the vote are an embarrassment to responsible journalism.
