Editorial independence refers to an outlet's freedom to cover topics of their choice with the coverage they judge best. So, is your concern the quality of the reporting, which is an problem of poor editorial practice, or the focus of the coverage, which is a problem of poor editorial independence? Or is it simply that you don't agree with a lot of the coverage?

The coverage itself is acceptable. It’s the way the headlines are written to subtly nudge tone in ways that alter perception of the front page (ie clickbait headlines) and the opinion section (most of those people I don’t give a damn about and I actively resent their continued employment.... anywhere. Get a damn blog.). In my understanding, both of these thing fall into the category of editorializing.
