Ted, > Newspapers in this country are hardly liberal and for good reason, they are owned by corps. That's one of the dumbest retreat tactics I've ever seen. Newspapers today no more reflect the liberal bent than does Boehner. I read the weekend Seattle Times to get the news and not because it reflects my ideology. Ditto with the NY Times. Most media in this country is center right. It only looks liberal to you because you are so far to the right. Newspapers often tilt their reporting from a liberal perspective. Columnists often spout the Democratic party line, especially Paul Krugman and Maureen Dowd. Whenever they endorse candidates, they almost always vote (D). Those are two journalists in a sea of journalists. I am no more impressed than you would be if I cited two of the many conservative journalists working for major papers. This is a center right country. Why would the media be coming from the left? It does not make any sense. Yet you want to claim that newspapers aren't liberal because they're owned by corporations? That's stupid. Why is that stupid?
