Washington Post Admits Bias in Political Coverage

At least they've finally admitted it - there was clear bias in the WaPo's coverage.

Deborah Howell, the ombudsman at the Washington Post, finds that her paper's coverage of the Allen-Webb and Cardin-Steele races was biased in favor of the Democrat. In Virginia, Howell concludes, the coverage was too anti-Allen ("a profile of Allen was relentlessly negative without balancing coverage. . ."); in Maryland it was too pro-Cardin ("I longed for a more critical eye, especially in the Cardin piece, which seemed relentlessly positive").

I assume that coming to this conclusion won't change their coverage much...
