Despite being an older medium, the overwhelming majority of newspapers in the United States are very [[liberal]], including the ''[[The New York Times]]'' and ''[[The Washington Post]]'', for example.<ref>http://www.mediaresearch.org/biasbasics/biasbasics1.asp</ref>  Only a few newspapers have a [[conservative]] slant, and even these are not conservative on all issues.  Examples of newspapers cited as conservative on some issues are ''[[The Washington Times]]'', the ''[[Las Vegas Review-Journal]]'', and the ''[[New Hampshire Union Leader]]''.  Some newspapers have changed their political slant over time: the ''[[New York Post]]'' has gone back and forth between a liberal slant and a conservative one, depending on its owner at the time, it currently is claimed by some to have a conservative slant under the ownership of [[News Corporation]]. But even the ''[[New York Post]]'' endorsed [[Hillary Clinton]] in 2006, illustrating that newspapers can adapt their editorial views to the local market. Likewise the ''[[Chicago Tribune]]'' once had conservative editorial positions but is now quite liberal like most.
