I'd argue that newspapers still very much follow and propagate their own political agenda through the tone and treatment of news items.
The sentiment and tone of tabloid* headlines, for example, will be squarely focused on reinforcing their core readership's existing opinions rather than simply informing them of interesting and relevant events, or challenging their viewpoint.
