Many news papers endorse Obama.
Many of these same newspapers have a reporting bias in favor of Obama.
My first question was based on these two bits of information. I don't know the answer.
Many newspapers have declining circulation.
Many of these same newspapers have a reporting bias.
I recognize a number of factor contribute to this trend, so I give an example of one paper with a left bias and declining circulation and another that has a right bias not having declining circulation.
My second question was based on these bits of information. I don't know the answer.
I comment on my local newspaper, their endorsement, the fact that I see the endorsement as having no value. I point out that my newspaper's primary focus is not national politics. The intent here is to minimize the value in the point raised concerning the number of endorsements for Obama.
For those interested in the source of data used concerning the circulation of the WSJ, I gave a link. The WSJ is often the target of criticism when I cite information from the editorial page. I just find it interesting what is happening to the WSJ and the NY Times. I assume most already know the current financial condition of the NY Times.

Almost as much of a stretch as McClellen is a liberal plant.

In your view is there a print media bias in favor of Obama?
