The Los Angeles Times used to be considered a Republican rag before Otis Chandler took the reins in 1960, just as the Chicago Tribune was considered a conservative outlet under Colonel Robert McCormick. At worst, the papers would only be returning to the their alleged old form.

Great historical point by Brent Bozell! In the first half of the twentieth century and even beyond that in some instances, major big city American newspapers were, more often than not, owned by conservatives who were by and large not afraid to publicize their views on the editorial pages. In an age where newspapers served as the number one source of news for Americans, these papers played at least somewhat of a role in mitigating the leftist politics in Washington during the Franklin D. Roosevelt New Deal era and later.

Believe it or not, even the Washington Post was owned by staunchly Republican close friends of Calvin Coolidge during his administration. Other major newspapers once considered to have a conservative editorial slant included the Philadelphia Inquirer and the New York Daily News.

Col. McCormick wasn’t the most pro-Jewish person in the world, but then, in those days, conservatism in general tended to be anti-Israel.
