You can't remove the on-line subscribers of WSJ, because they're paying subscribers-- no different, really than print subscribers. I think the on-line rate is around 1/3 of the print rate (which is why only a portion of them are counted), but all of their rates are pretty high.

The WSJ is unusual, though, in that their news group and editorial group are completely independent. The news group is pretty liberal, but the editorial group is quite conservative.

Ah, I was not clear in what I meant to 'measure', sorry I ment to suggest that the *liberal* press was taking a greater beating than the numbers suggested. To measure that properly, of course, one would subtract out not just the Wall Street Journal but the (few) other non-liberal papers. I just do a rough cut at that number by subtracting out only the WSJ numbers (because it was easy and I am lazy). Given all that, the fall in (the rough estimate) of liberal paper circulation is even more than reported for total circulation. Good news.
