It is saddening to see such blatant evidence that The Post is merely a house organ for the Democratic Party. Consider the Sept. 28 edition.
A headline on the front page read, "McCain Ready for a Change of Subject; Credit Crisis Has Given Obama a Distinct Edge."
A block of type with pictures of the two candidates regarding the previous week read: "For McCain, it meant a roll of the dice that one dramatic act signifying the end of business as usual could lead to a way out of the crisis and give his campaign a much-needed boost at the same time. For Barack Obama, it was a chance to demonstrate the calm and assurance that befits a potential president in difficult times." So, one was rolling the dice, and the other was calm and reassuring.
On page A10 under Politics, the headline at the top was "For Obama, Dialogue Drove Week's Work; Democrat Stayed Current as He Labored." John McCain's headline was "For McCain, Days of Chaos, Improvisation and Drama."
Further, on Page A12, one headline read, "Focus on Economy Could Let Obama Solidify His Lead." At the top of the page was the headline "Palin's Stand on Mining Initiative Leaves Many Feeling Burned."
As supposedly one of the world's greatest newspapers, you can do better than that.
