The Washington Examiner is an excellent newspaper, for which I recently interned, and is doing great things for a more balanced news media in Washington. The Examiner currently runs editions in DC, Baltimore, and San Francisco, and is equipped with solid reporting, cutting edge commentary, and extraordinary editorials.
I'm writing now to advocate their latest feature, which is doing good things for war reporting in the midst of the typical media refusal to print the truth. Read below to see why The Examiner should be your newspaper of choice and check in on the real reporting. Here's what they're doing:
"WASHINGTON - Editor’s note: Blogger Bill Ardolino is embedded with a U.S. Marine unit in Iraq. He’s there to find out the truth about the U.S. war effort on the ground in Iraq. Unlike the vast majority of mainstream media journalists who stay within the Green Zone in Baghdad, Ardolino is on patrol in the streets wherever his embedded Marine unit goes. This is his second exclusive dispatch for The Examiner."
