They have an online edition that is pretty thorough. I don't think any U.S. based rags are unbiased. On the bright side if you read both sides and consider what each is removing from the table then you can frequently guess the truth. :) Glad the storm did not come your way.

I really, really value honesty and integrity in journalism over panache. I move from Time to Newsweek to US News & World Report searching for journalism without an axe to grind. Boring? Maybe. But there's something to be said for non-biased reporting.

WHY should we care? B.D., we HAVE TO care. After all, M.B. Howard was the prototypical new age journalist. Not just another tattered, pants-pissing newspaper reporter warming a barstool in the Denver Press Club, but a cutting edge (that'd be the edge of a single-edge razor blade, of course) coke dust Hoover who sparked journalistic intensity via jangled nerves and $1,000-a-day habit, rather than a foggy, old-school rage fueled by a three-boilermaker lunch. And to think we ran his sorry ass out of town. How shortsighted could we have been? : ) Mr. Reverence, Chris Lawson B.D. writes: And we care about the former editor of the Rocky Mountain News, why? ;-) >>Chris Lawson takes a wild guess: Let me guess. Would that be Michael Balf Howard, former Rocky Mountain News (Denver) editor-in-chief and cocaine addict who slithered out of town in shame? No, I didn't think so. -Chris Lawson<< >>>nbeddoe@lehman.com writes: How many Americans can tell me who Michael Howard is? Neil<<< _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
