McClatchy acquired the Eagle in 2006. As a Knight-Ridder publication, the Eagle was already left-leaning, thanks to Davis Merritt and his belief in advocacy (community) journalism, which I think has contributed to the erosion of journalism standards in this country. The Eagle hasn't endorsed Obama yet, but I don't doubt that it will. Gov. Sebelius is an Obama acolyte and the Eagle serves as her diary and daybook. <BR/><BR/>I have a degree in journalism (from another era - the '70s) and so it is hard to watch the complete implosion of the traditional media. I turned off broadcast TV news in 2004 and local TV news this year. I stopped my subscription to Time many years ago. <BR/><BR/>God help our country.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
