As important as [[television]] has been, [[newspaper]]s remain enormously influential.  They were a big cause for the [[Spanish-American War]], and have played a key role in every [[war]] ever since.  [[Television]] news producers look at [[newspaper]]s to decide what stories to cover and run.

The major [[newspaper]]s are overwhelming liberal.  The only [[conservative]] papers in the country are the [[New York Post]], the [[New York Sun]], the [[Washington Times]], and small-town papers.  In [[New Jersey]], every single major newspaper endorsed [[Democrat]] [[Jim McGreevey]] for governor.  And he used those endorsements to his great advantage in his [[campaign]] ads.

The major [[newspaper]]s are overwhelming liberal. (Does this refer to news coverage or the political opinions of the editorial boards of the papers? [[User:GregG|GregG]] 10:04, 24 October 2012 (EDT)) The only [[conservative]] papers in the country are the ''[[New York Post]]'', the ''[[New York Sun]]'', the ''[[Washington Times]]'', and small-town papers.  In [[New Jersey]], every single major newspaper endorsed [[Democrat]] [[Jim McGreevey]] for governor.  And he used those endorsements to his great advantage in his [[campaign]] ads.

However, the influence of [[newspaper]]s has been declining.  With each passing year, fewer people subscribe to [[newspaper]]s.  In old days, the family breakfast at home with the paper has been replaced with a less structured schedule.  The availability of instantaneous, in-depth news over the [[Internet]] lessens the [[demand]] for [[newspapers]].  Why not obtain up-to-date news when you want it, rather than read stale news in the papers?

Prominent [[newspapers]], like the [[New York Times]], are also notorious in filtering news rather than reporting it.  “All the News that’s Fit to Print” is the slogan of the NY Times, but in fact it carefully screens news from its subscribers.  Its front page will feature stories that are days or weeks old, delayed or even rejected to created a political balance desired by the editors.

Stories about how [[gun]]s have stopped [[crime]] and saved lives, for example, are unlikely ever to appear in major [[newspaper]]s.  [[Fallacy|Fallacies]] in theories of [[evolution]] or population control or other icons of [[humanism]] are screened from major [[newspaper]]s.
