After reading the Roanoke Times newspaper for 15 years it is
clear to me that their "slant" on the information they publish is not even
close to neutral or balanced on many economic, social and political issues.
The Roanoke Slant "blog" is intended to be a very brief "diary" of some
examples of their slant by contrasting it with an opposing view.
Some of the Papers slant methods include: not covering a story, blatant in-your-face
slant,  subtle shades of gray, size and content of headlines, area and location of coverage
Upon review of these items, over a period of time,
one might conclude that there is an undeniable pattern of behavior.
 This may be helpful in the future by enabling objective vs subjective discussions.
