His point being that he wants the name of the newspaper in the first paragraph, but the same applies when a media outlet has an agenda they want to push - Front-load your angle and bury anything that might play against it.
It's a practice that's been going-on for decades, if not centuries. Heck, there were probably cavemen who came back from the hunt bragging about how well they fought their prey before they mumbled under their breath that it got away.
Readers of any news article should always keep this in mind, and we should thank outlets like BigJournalism for calling the media out publicly when they do see this happening.

Oh, wait, that was 36 million pounds salmonella-tainted turkey that Cargill produced for more than 5 months and sold in at least 26 states. - http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-08-04/cargill-...
At least the turkey was FINALLY recalled after an "internal" & "painstaking" investigation.
And at least Cargill has all the proper paperwork so that “[o]nce [the tainted meat is] removed and the shelves are restocked, most people will go back to buying it”.
Thank goodness that undocumented raw goat milk won't be in the fridges of a handful of people around Venice, CA, when they stock their fridges with ground turkey again.
Someone might get sick.

Speaking of just one word, I think, "On Jeremiah Wright being just a “libertarian ‘Goddamn America!’ theologian," was supposed to be "... liberation ... theologian."
