Now, THIS I like.

I live in the Roanoke, Virginia area... and I read the daily newspaper, well, daily. Like most conservatives who read the Times, I've become convinced that Tommy Denton and the rest of his editorial staff at The Roanoke Times are the hell spawn of Satan, sent here to do evil upon the world at large and the Roanoke Valley in specific. Heck, you don't even have to be a conservative to feel that way. You just have to hold the belief that news reporting should be objective and reflect no obvious bias. I've attacked the local paper here at this blog in the past, but I've not had the time or the focus to go after them with the necessary tenacity.

Finally, there's someone in the blogosphere who does have the time and focus.

Writing at RoanokeSlant.com, Lars Hagen is doing his best to expose the Times for what it is. Lars finds and comments on examples of the Times obvious left-leaning bias. Not that he has to dig for them, mind you. Finding examples of liberal bias in the Roanoke Times is like finding examples of drug abuse at a Grateful Dead show. Nonetheless, Lars holds those examples up to the examination they warrant, and it delights me to no end.

Check out The Roanoke Slant for the straight poop on the Roanoke Times. And, if you're so inclined, the links below will take you to some of my own posts about Roanoke's own yellow hippie rag:
