Post: We weren’t Really All That Biased, Actually

Deborah Howell - An Obama Tilt in Campaign Coverage - washingtonpost.com

The Post provided a lot of good campaign coverage, but readers have been consistently critical of the lack of probing issues coverage and what they saw as a tilt toward Democrat Barack Obama. My surveys, which ended on Election Day, show that they are right on both counts.

On the other hand, it really wasn’t much of a tilt, and on the whole, we did a great job.

Thanks, ombudsman. Wonderful analysis.

If you're having problems like this, you can bypass Akismet by registering. Your comments are still very welcome whether you register or not. The only drawback of not registering is, if Akismet flags your comment as spam, it may take us a while before we see it and fix it.
