As Progressive Oregon has reported, The Oregonian (the largest newspaper in Oregon) has failed to cover a 4,000-person rally against gay violence this Sunday, while they had previously reported on a 15-person Tea Party protest in Portland!
As the good folks at Our Oregon have noted, “In the year and a half since The Oregonian was taken over by N. Christian Anderson III … the newspaper has lurched to the right.”
The good news is that we have a new community blog in our state called Daily Kos Oregon—where citizen reporters are beginning fill the void and provide coverage of important public policy issues that the corporate media won’t touch.
Now the grassroots, not just the gatekeepers, can help craft the “news” in Oregon.
