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.
