If so, newspaper trends are going your way, as I explain in my latest column for the Rocky Mountain News. The cutting edge provider of such slanted “news” is ProPublica, a non-profit funded by the leftist Sandler familiy. Newspapers get the ProPublica “investigative journalism” articles for free, so in a time when newspapers must cut production costs, free articles can be very attractive. Even if they are one-sided argumentative pieces which have more in common with an op-ed than with a real investigative news article.
