Just wanted to point out that this isn't a newspaper. It's a web network of bloggers with no editorial oversight. It's called Examiner.com, and if someone blogs out of Seattle, it shows up as "Seattle Headlines Examiner."
You'll notice when you click on the link that the title of the page is "examiner.com" + the name of a major city near you. Stories on Examiner.com are not vetted or checked for truthfulness or accuracy. In fact, you can write for them; just click the button in the upper right. Writers are paid according to number of page views.

Examiner.com has been criticized for its lack of verification and fact-checking of stories published on the site.[15] L.J. Williamson, a writer who was briefly employed by Examiner.com, drew attention to the site's lack of editorial oversight by publishing a series of satirical prank articles,[16] which went unnoticed by Examiner.com's staff until Williamson published what she described as an homage to a well-known satirical piece written by Hunter S. Thompson, in which Thompson claimed that presidential candidate Edmund Muskie showed symptoms of being under the influence of Ibogaine. In Williamson's satirical piece, she claimed that actress Jenny McCarthy advocated Ibogaine as a treatment for autism. Examiner.com staff only noticed and withdrew Williamson's prank stories when lawyers for McCarthy contacted them and demanded that the piece be removed.[17] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Examiner.com
