I agree that there are rightist sources out there, but not of this same genre (in terms of what kind of media we think of when we hear "honey, where's the paper!?" )

Question: Would a local paper's endorsement of Bush in the election be a leading indicator that its views are less than left-of-center?
I come from a part of the country where all of the local papers that I recall were quite enthusiastic in their support of Republican candidates. Sure, their most prolific writers of the daily stories may have had stoopid names like "Associated Press" and "Knight Ridder wire reports," but for all things local, opinion and editorial, I would hardly characterize them as lefties.
Typically, we left that to the big-city folk.
