I don't know how you can insinuate that newer entries like "Internet Adds 12th Website" and "Fish Time! American Consumer Masses Agree: It Fish Time!" evince the slightest departure from the paper's hallmark objective-to-a-fault editorial perspective. I'll bet the majority of the editorial department doesn't even know about the change in ownership.

To be fair, I know there is something slightly off in articles like "Nothing At All Happens To 28 Tibetan Protesters, Their Families" in Local and "NASCAR: Why Is It Not Done On Thousands Of Bicycles?" in Sports. But I'll be damned if I can say what it is.
