It is a shame when media has to sell the news. It is a shame when they feel that their market wants its news to lean one direction or another. What ever happend to the simple truth? The politics of local papers are usually quite obvious - in your face blatant obvious. Perhaps that cannot be helped - it is no different from celebrities expressing their political opinions from the stage. I want my news to be the news - they can express their opinions on the editorial page - where it belongs. Far too often editorial opinion is presented as the news. iIt isn't ! I pay for news. Put it on the front page - clear and unadulterated. The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Put their opinons in the editoral pages and on the opinion pages and make it obvious that it is that and nothing more. As for the celebrities - tell the bitch to sing - that is what I paid the big bucks to hear! I do not care about her politics, her family problems, her sex life (unless I am personally involved in it), or her opinions.
