So obviously they themselves are aware that they're doing something differently.
>Nonpartisanship was particularly important for a paper that was a national leader in covering politics and government. As the final gatekeeper for Post journalism, I stopped voting or making up my own mind about issues. As Bradlee had, I insisted on noninvolvement of Post journalists in political activity or advocacy of any kind, except voting. I also worked to make The Post newsroom more diverse, and encouraged everyone to have a voice in our decision-making.
The bit about not voting is something that today's "journalists" would reject completely, I'm pretty sure. I wouldn't lie down on the tracks for "objectivity" if instead we got "nonpartisanship."
