There are plenty of other quality columnists on the Post, and they are much more fair and level headed than Jenkins. Look at Wise, who recently apologized for his comments regarding Brunell last year. Wilbon and Kornheiser are both pretty fair in their articles, calling the Skins out when necessary and giving praise when appropriate.

Jenkins' negatively slanted articles are just getting old, what is she going to do if god forbid they have a winning season and go to the playoffs? Will she just not write about the Skins? I guess that wouldn't be a bad thing.

Exactlty. Wilbon and Kornheiser are good examples of columnists who don't seem to let bias get in the way. Kornheiser is certainly a Skins fan but he calls them out a lot. His stuff does tend to be more positive regarding them but you can't say he goes soft on them. Wilbon is definitly not a Skins fan but you never see him go after them without good cause. He'll praise when needed. Neither of them are strictly positive or negative. They simply are balanced.
