@ Pedro: No, it is not, as you suggest, "challenging to understand how a newspaper works."

It's pretty simple, actually.

The Post piece on enhanced parking enforcement goes for a full ten paragraphs from the perspective of parking violators, before touching upon quotes from anyone in favor of the enforcement.

And even at that juncture, they quoted city officials in a vein that supports the article's slant: that it's only about the budget.

It's pretty easy for readers to be dismissive of city officials supporting parking enforcement. How about a quote or two from residents who support the enforcement, as early in the piece as the bleating illegal parkers?
