WaPo comes out of the closet, which really didn't have the door closed anyway

Why is the dinosaur media dying? Because they haven't covered the news fairly for years, people know it and have moved away to sources that attempt to, or at least present another point of view. This began with the whole "civic journalism" era in which newspeople decided their subject matter should be determined by which each journalist felt their mission was in news. IOW, whatever the liberal reporter wanted to cover was covered strictly from that point of view because it's GOOD FOR YOU, the reader. Sound like the same people who want to control the amount of money you make, the number of times you work out per week, the amount of salt and sugar you consume....? Yep. Same people.

The Post’s foray into the new media world received some unfavorable attention last weekend when its latest hire, Dave Weigel, who covers conservatives, referred to gay marriage foes as “bigots.” But the resulting controversy brought into relief a larger shift: The Post now hosts three of the strongest liberal blogs on the Internet, and draws a disproportionate share of its traffic and buzz from them, a significant change for a traditional newspaper that has struggled to remake itself.
