I'm going to make youtube commercials highlighting Obama's history and proving that he's a bold faced liar. The demeanor of my commercials will be very similar to my blog:

I would appreciate suggestions on video editing software. I need something that will allow me to display newspaper articles in the background in a reasonably professional looking manner.
thanks in advance

Final Cut Pro Studio with Motion, but only if you've got a Mac with a Core 2 Duo and tons of memory.
Motion is amazing. It's used to do the titles to a lot of news shows, sports events and all, as well as a lot of commercials and composited content.
There is a learning curve, though. It literally comes with a shelf of books.
It's also caused the most profound coffee-snort I ever did at the office, due to a mistake I made. I'd used the particle generator, which was supposed to couple with a wipe to sweep aside an interview to switch to other content in a blaze of dramatic glowing golden sparkles...it's the exact same thing they use when they do that for football games and all.
What happened was I screwed up behaviors and the start point for the generator, resulting in the interview staying in place as the person talking had a spray of golden sparks erupt from their nose.

I've used and still have Adobe Premier 6. Works good. I'll agree though that Final Cut seems to be the top dog for now. Black-Magic ain't bad either, but the renders are a killer. I've also done some editing on Speed Razor.

I've been using version 7 or 8 Platinum (I forget which; it's hell getting old...) for awhile now and it's great. No lockups, short enough learning curve, great features, nice output.
