The "press" stopped being just the newspapers since the invention of
radio. Even newspapers are more than just the editorial page. Most
of a NEWSpaper is supposedly carrying NEWS. Also it is not the
number of liberal or conservative "press" that matters as the
size of their audience. One half hour news broadcast on any ONE of
the networks is seen by more people than ALL the conservative
newspapers in the entire country. There is no question that the
most influential "press" in this country (such as the broadcast
news) is very liberal. Restricting the concept of the "press"
to just newspapers is misleading and is a statistical lie.
