Even as he tries to argue the Washington Post has produced “excellent” coverage of the homosexuality debate and praises the “Kids Post” treatment of gay issues, ombudsman Michael Getler today admits the glaringly obvious:

“The paper has also had a number of feature stories in recent months about same-sex couples and gay marriage. That’s understandable because it goes with the news flow. But critics who say the paper has had few, if any, features portraying opponents of this social change in a positive or even neutral light have a point. The overall picture, it seems to me, could use more balance.”
