Yeah, this has always been the case, but has their bias towards Gavin Newsom ever been so clear as the past week.  I did a search on Examiner.com for “Newsom”.  Of course, many articles came tumbling out, but the Examiner’s position on a man that was once overwhelmingly popular is no mystery.

Here are some of the editorials:
“A Time for Grace at City Hall”, arguing that people should lay off the Gav for his indiscretions and well…I’ll let them say it: “During the coming period we would advise his political competitors to step back and allow the leader The City’s voters picked to grow in moral stature.” 

“Mayor must overcome self-doubt”: Ken Garcia explains to the world why the Mayor should quit doubting himself and um, Let Gavin be Gavin? Or something like that. On the other hand, Garcia did write this piece calling the rehab “sort-of excuse…getting as tired as the politicians themselves.”

But the letters section, well, let’s just check out the Feb 7 letters section as an example. In addition to putting a letter about municipal wifi from a SF Republican Party leader, they also put in a letter from Mike DeNunzio.  Yeah, the GOP candidate for Nancy Pelosi’s seat.  They saw it fit to publish Mr. DeNunzio’s screed against…well…anybody who isn’t a Republican.  Oh, and he managed to get his little dig on 8 supervisors who don’t pass muster with him in the paper as well. An Examiner two-fer.  Apparently nobody in the City was at all critical of the Mayor, everybody just hates the big bad progressive Supervisor meanies.  A quality publication, indeed.
