Well it comes back to what Americans care about, but thats a whole other issue.
As for newspaper journalists, I think they're often more biased than TV personalities. I don't think the news is balanced. You have one major conservative outlet (Fox News) vs. CNN, MSNBC, and the networks. You have one major newspaper (WSJ, maybe more) against the Times, the Post, Herald, LA, AJC...
Journalists probably tend to be liberal, and thus their reporting is skewed towards their preferences. I realize this is on both sides, but I think one side is larger than the other. You could make the same statement about nationally syndicated talk radio for conservatives.
I can deal with CNN's subtle swipes and the president, and the Post's as well (WP is my favorite paper), but its the MSNBC's and NY Times that kill me.
