This poll didn't get much press. Why is it so hard for conservatives to concede that wealthy publishers and their middle management favor conservative opinion makers? What is it about this subject that frightens them so much?

It’s that 60% of people don’t totally agree with you." Check the polls. Americans are actually overwhelmingly liberal on the issues. And, this isn't a "market" issue. Local newspapers are almost always "natural monopolies." And, please don't use the NYT as some benchmark for why you think this study is wrong. The NYT sold the Iraq war unquestionably to the public.
