What is your local newspaper? Is it right wing or left wing? Or neither?

[Archae]

Around here, we have two main newspapers, The Sheboygan Press and the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.

The Sheboygan Press tries to stay neiutral, most of the time.
Lot of the LTTE writers are teabaggers, though.

The Journal-Sentinel is hopelessly right-wing.

1. The LA Times.

They're staunch Whigs and proud of it!

[wickerwoman]

2. It's just an appalling scandal-mongering rag...

Endless poo-flinging about which city council-person put a $60 business lunch at Hooters on their company card intersperced with puff pieces on the world's oldest cat and interviews with some crusty octogenerian knitting a baby blanket for Prince George. They even fuck up the weather reports.

3. Where is this, and what's the paper called?

4. The Daily News is center Left. NY Post is rightwing tabloid. NYTimes little further left.

[dipsydoodle]

5. Neither

6. Our local paper

in Boulder is the Daily Camera; I also get the Denver Post. The Camera tries to reflect liberal Boulder but both papers are owned by the same company and the Post gets more conservative all the time. I read the NYTimes, LATimes and WashPo online but it is depressing that they're all being bought out by large corps and we cannot trust them to be neutral (just like TV) and we get so little real news, international or domestic.

12. Greeley Tribune

might as well be owned outright by the oil/gas industry. Most of the online version is now behind a paywall; the only parts not behind the paywall are the oil/gas pages, articles singing the praises of fracking and frackers, and opinion pieces that glorify fossil fuels. And obits. It's pretty much become the PR organ of the extractive industries, any resemblance to the newspapers I grew up with has long ago disappeared. They do occasionally endorse a non-republican, but it's damned rare.

8. right wing...

owned by the same family for 125 some years...

[PCIntern]

9. Philly Inquirer

Starting to lean RW.

[elfin]

10. Reduced Milwaukee to Sunday after first Walker endorsement

Then quit altogether. Still peruse on the web, but do a workaround via reader or dumping cookies if I exceed their stupid article limit and actually find something I want to read, like John Gurda's essays once a month.

21. I vowed to never give them a dime after they distributed that Islamic hate DVD in 2008.

11. Dallas Morning News

It is old time conservative Republican. Their national reporting is excellent and is usually impartial. Not so good on the local news, they have the habit of just not reporting on important things that they don't agree with or have a vested interest in. There is a local free weekly paper, the Dallas Observer that reports in detail on the goings on with the city government and loves to dish the dirt on the DMN.

I read the DMN every morning while I drink my coffee. I try to pick up a copy of the Observer every week. I also subscribe to NYT on line. These sources keep me fairly well informed. It is interesting to read the letters to the editor in the DMN, so many are repeating the Fox news garbage: Benghazi, Fast and Furious, IRS, etc. Plus all the conservative Christians who have to get their two-cents in. After reading these letters, I wonder why I am living in Texas.

13. A right-wing rag.

The Tribune-Review, owned by Richard Mellon Scaife.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette leans more to the left.

[doc03]

24. I read the Trib now and then, it's like Fox News in print, the Post Gazette is not bad n/t

[Tom Ripley]

14. The Athens Banner Herald leans slightly left-of-center, but the majority of the online commenters...

belong to the Imperial Knights of the Racist Reactionary Right Teabaggers.
It is as if the owners are hosting a fucking Klan rally with their bandwidth. I guess that for the participants it is a bit more comfortable than standing around in a muddy field.

[BlueJazz]

15. Left St. Petersburg Times

[jmowreader]

16. There are two papers that could be considered "local" in western Kootenai County

The Spokesman-Review is from Spokane. It's conservative but not far enough right to be considered "right wing" in the way a Scaife paper or the Moonie Times would be.

The Coeur d'Alene Press I don't know how to describe in political terms. (Disclosure: I am a technician at this paper.) The letters and op-eds are extremely far to the right (the managing editor is slightly right-of-center and he is continually accused of being a leftist; most of the rest of the paper is either local sports or news about the four industries in Cd'A - tourism and hospitality, real estate and residential construction, senior healthcare, and retail.

[Cirque du So-What]

17. Cleveland Plain Dealer

is, for the most part, conservatroid fishwrap, although it does have progressive commentary on occasion.

[Blue_In_AK]

18. Our local print paper is the Anchorage Daily News

They strive to be even-handed, but they lean just a little to the left. (Don Young, congressman for all Alaskans who voted for him, calls it the Anchorage Daily Worker.). They publish national columns by Paul Krugman and Charles Krauthammer, among others, and local ones by Shannyn Moore on the left and Oil shill Paul Jenkins on the right. Compass pieces by assorted locals are pretty well split down the middle.

19. the milwaukee unrinal has swung right.

[NuclearDem]

20. Indianapolis Star. Definitely right leaning.

[LiberalEsto]

22. Washington Pest

self-explanatory

[doc03]

23. One f-----g right wing family owns all the local newspapers n/t

[LadyHawkAZ]

25. Salt Lake Tribune, leans left

We also have the Deseret News, known locally as the Mormon Mouthpiece. I bet you can't guess which way it leans...

I will only buy the Tribune. It's worth the money just to pay Pat Bagley's salary.

[arely staircase]

26. far right. nt

[sweetloukillbot]

27. Arizona Republic

Right-wing - Endorsed Lieberman for president because he was the most like a Republican.
That said - I worked there for 10 years and with the exception of maybe a 1/2 dozen people - everyone I worked with was a Democrat - or a left leaning independent.

[Ron Green]

28. It's called the "Democrat-Herald," but don't be fooled by that.

Lee Publications, who own a bunch of small-town dailies around the country, seem to pander to whatever demographic they think will buy papers. Just across the river in Corvallis, their "Gazette-Times" has plenty of ink for local progressive events and ideas. But the D-H runs, pretty much non-stop, O'Reilly, Krauthammer and Will, topped by racist-looking anti-Obama cartoons.

[LuvNewcastle]

29. The Biloxi-Gulfport Sun Herald is a RW bird cage liner.

They set up a table sometimes at the grocery store to sell subscriptions. I love to insult the paper when the salesman tries to get me to buy a subscription. I told the last guy, "Hell no, I'm not buying that RW bullshit paper! I tried wiping my ass with it, and it actually made my asshole dumber." The guy just stared at me with his mouth open.

30. Newspapers get most of their money from the advertising of auto dealers ...

... who tend to be conservative.

[tblue37]

31. Right wing, though Lawrence, Kansas, is itself a blue island in a red, red, red state. nt

[gopiscrap]

32. mine is owned by a corporation

so left on it's own would be a total right wing rag, but because I live in a liberal area it is too chicken to go all our teabaggin so it's muted so as not to lose customers. Money trumps ideology.

[valerief]

33. I thought all newspapers were right wing, like television 'news'. nt
