A new blog, Sabertooth Journal, has a nicely-written exposé of a biased piece of advocacy journalism masquerading as news. The San Jose Mercury-News reports on a bill that has passed in the California Assembly that requires employers to provide six weeks of paid leave to employees (at 55% salary). Dave Mecklenburg exposes the folly of the law, and displays how the writer pulled out all the ideological stops in an effort to frame this bill in as positive a light as possible. Take a look, and check out the rest of the site, too; it's full of good stuff.
