How many newspapers in America are considered 'Conservative' ?

Wall Street Journal is definitely on the conservative side.

Washington Times is the one I hear about most. But that’s probably because it’s owned by Sun Myung Moon and he thinks he’s the second coming of Christ.

Roughly 50% each

My dad claims The New York Times is far too liberal. My older brother’s tiff with the L.A. Times is for a completely different reason – their layout design ugly.

People readily throw around “too conservative” and “too liberal” in reference to the Press, but I doubt they will ever be wholly satisfied with the media as a whole—(Wikipedia is not word of law, nor should it be your final stop if this is a topic that interests you, but there is a rough overview on the history of Media Bias in the United States here.)

Theoretically, the Press should be as free of media bias as possible. That’s not easy to accomplish, especially since the newspaper industry is still a business. One can’t help but consider who their readership is, what articles will appeal to them, what advertisements they should seek to get the best funding, etc. There’s also the issue between who runs the company and who writes individual articles.

These issues can even be found in the microcosm of school papers. My poor journalism teacher was trying to teach us about keeping the News articles strictly about the facts, and always extending the issue of writing opinions that reflect multiple viewpoints. This was nearly impossible to accomplish. I tried at least.

I that what the papers think of themselves or what the reader thinks?

I say none are. They are always following the trend that leads to more readers.

There’s a handful. The Orange County Register is generally considered to be conservative, as is either the Washington Times or the Washington Post, I don’t remember which. The Wall Street Journal is rather conservative, though I expect that they’re more economically conservative than they are socially.

@muppetish Even the most unbiased policy can be compromised by biased reporters, and the overwhelming majority of reporters are overwhelmingly liberal.

The Boston Herald is. The Manchester (NH) Union Leader and Providence Journal had always been reputed to be, though I am not sure if that still holds true.
