This is a hit piece, pure and simple. There's nothing there but the accusation that McClatchy is having trouble because they're left-leaning. Nothing to document the assertion that McClatchy is "left-leaning" or "anti-American" (in the words of the first commenter), nor to document the claim that this is what's causing their financial difficulties. Most significantly, nothing at all about the fact that in the run-up to the Iraq war, McClatchy was consistently the only mainstream news source that questioned what we now know was the propaganda being put out by the Bush administration and reported the facts that showed much of it to be wrong from the start.
