This article is why the Post is superior to the other paper.

A real reader's advocate bucks the paper occasionally, and uses specific stories to explain flaws. Michael Getler is doing a decent job, and between him and Dan Froomkin, there's a competent culture of criticism at the WaPo that leads to a healthier newsroom. If you rush the facts, or say something for "balance" when the story shows something else, you'll get burned. As well you should.
