WaPo doesn't do it, and CP cuts and pastes and then comments from other sites (for the most part). I think their politics and hideous grammatical mistakes are there for everyone to see, and I don't agree with them, but who else is gonna cover the local news? "Illo: n.

Or CP speak?

Just not sure if the bias manifests locally. I think some of their reporters do a good job--a great job even--covering local politics. But, Jaffe's piece on Barry was all rehash and the headline was lame. The illo was really crazy to me.
