Most major newspapers are owned by conservative businessmen or
corporations, and the editorial page writers are not for the most part
workaday news writers.

Are you trying to somehow imply that the NYT, WP, LAT, BG, AJ-C et al are
*not* liberally bent papers, simply because they have wealthy corporate
owners or wealthy majority stockholders?

I'm surprised that Bush is only down 2 to 1 in endorsements vs. Kerry.

Journalists shouldn't be partisan anyhow.

And you think that their opinions are on the op-ed page? Or is it the
opinion of the editorial staff, most of whom are liberal democrats?

The moment that a conservative businessmen/owner ever tried to pressure his
editorial staff to support Bush over Kerry, *he* would be the topic of that
night's news shows. Dan Rather would make him the target on the next 60
Minutes...fake memos and all.

Nope. They're liberal editors who used to be liberal "workaday news
writers."
