It should at least be balanced, but more likely left leaning.

I've only been getting it for 8 months, and I tend to be disinterested in corruption scandals, so I really don't know. I can tell you that they have been following mortgage finance/foreclosure stories very closely. Also, they correctly called for the rejection of the amendments and the retention of judges on this year's ballot. Hope this helps.

I'm getting kinda tired of the right-wing drift/pander where good journalism used to be more the objective...IMO. It seems sad because they used to have pretty high standards.

Nearly all media is dependent on advertising revenue from conservative corporate decision makers. And they really LOVE the gullible audiences that conservative media attracts. So much for liberal bias.

It's free, and a pretty good progressive paper.
