Consortium News has an informative list (2/15/09) of "some special stories from the previous month" that were neglected by corporate media obsessively "focusing on the end of the Bush era and the start of the Obama era"--here's a sampling:

"WPost Columnist Excuses Torture," by David Swanson, cataloging the excuses for torture. (January 4, 2009)...

"WPost Finds Second Side to Gaza War" by Robert Parry, observing some journalistic one-sidedness. (January 8, 2009)...

"How the CIA Handles the WPost" by Melvin A. Goodman, describing high-level media manipulation. (January 9, 2009)

"WPost Flacks Again for Bush's Crimes" by Robert Parry, recounting another example of media bias. (January 10, 2009)

Check out lots more of Consortium News editor Robert Parry's relentless effort to hold the national capital's main daily paper accountable here, here, here and here.
