Liberal press?  Where is it?  I always read the political endorsements, 
and the press always or nearly always endorse right-wing reactionaries.  
Look at how many papers endoresed George Bush and Ronald Reagan before 
him.  Look how many endorsed Pete Wilson.  

When a paper endorses a Democrat it's BIG NEWS, to wit: In the last
election the Oregonian in Portland endorsed Clinton.  This made national
headlines (even in their own paper) because it was the first time the
Oregonian had EVER not endorsed a Republican.  Note the SF Chronicle, long
noted as a "working man's paper", but instead always endorsing
Republicans.  Hell, the newspaper publishers in California usually sit on
the central committees of the local Republican party groups. 

The exception I make to this is the McClatchy papers (the Bees), which 
have always been liberal.  I can't even THINK of any other liberal press 
in California, let alone the nation, unless you wish to include the small 
circulation weekly papers.
