The newspapers that worry me the most are the ones without an agenda. That almost invariably means that I agree with what they're saying, so they are doing little more than reenforcing my preconceived notions.
That is also why I prefer newspapers over online news. Online news sources make it far too easy for me to choose the stories that I agree with, either in terms of their source or subject matter. (Then there's the bit that most online news sources are little more than editorial that is pumped out to keep the site updated to the minute, rather than the news cycle of a day for newspapers.)
