Yes -- DC's "other" newspaper has a long, long history.
I remember taking mental note in the 1990s, when I was still "inside the Beltway."
I could read front-page "news" articles garnered from AP and UPI releases which were written by W Times staff, and I would find editorializing remarks -- right there . . . on the front page. Right away, you would conclude you couldn't trust that paper.
The "real' newspaper -- the Post -- always inclined toward supporting American capitalism as well as following the journalistic tradition that goes back before Ben Bradlee and Katherine Graham: the want ads, the ads for some of the best grocery stores, clothing stores, liquor stores in the area were lavish.
Outfits like FOX and papers like the Washington Times follow "advocacy journalism" practice, which is a euphemism for "yellow journalism." The so-called "Liberal" papers and media stick to "objective journalism -- separating basic, untainted news reporting from the opinion section. And there is attention to avoid distortion.
Another thing you'll see about -- for instance -- FOX: they avoid reporting news that doesn't advance their advocacy. So they censor the reporting of news items up front. Today, for instance, when the story broke about Stormy and Donald, the lawyer and the $130,000 signed "agreement," FOX chose to report on battling student journalists at GWU, disparaging the "Liberal." How very pertinent! How useful in the consumption of my time! I am SO INTERESTED in the GWU student newspapers!
