Yeah, our local paper here in deep red Alabama is a joke too. They are very good at quoting the local politicians, but not very good at fact checking them, especially the liberal ones. Of course this is a pretty good arrangement for the politicians. And I think being to the left of the general population makes the newspaper people feel sophisticated.

Oh that is so true. Our local editor does these touchy feely editorials to demonstrate he's more open minded than the rubes he's forced to sell papers to.

Of course, the paper continues to fail.
