	The New Partisan Press
		The founding fathers may have envisioned a partisan press, since that was a common model for journalism before the Associated Press.
		That means that every right-thinking citizen should answer the new partisan press with his or her own voice.
		The original notion of a partisan press was that it would create an atmosphere in which the truth would prevail in the marketplace of ideas.

	PressThink: Comment on The Coming Apart of An Ordered World: Bloggers Notebook, Election Eve (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Such calls may have partisan consequences--liars generally look bad when they've been called out on it--but that doesn't mean that one can't objectively call a public official out on their untruths or misstatements.
		That was the press party line at the time--that the internet would be another medium under the control of MSM, and that using their special filter of objective truth, editors and journalists would sort out the news and facts for the rest of us, and tell us what we needed to know.
		Press Think is great for media criticism, Kaus is great for laughs, and assorted political blogs give a spectrum of right to left opinion of varying quality and vitriol.

	Working Papers
		The electoral influence of Britain's highly partisan press has long been the source of concern and controversy.
		Partisan newspapers, it is argued, influence the way in which their readers vote.
		So, if we were to find that readers of the normally pro-Conservative press were to have moved particularly strongly against the Conservatives since 1992, we could be particularly confident in arguing that this is evidence of the influence of newspapers on their readers rather than of readers' choice of which newspaper to read.

	TPMCafe \|\| Ooo! Questions!
		What has happened here with the press, is that they have established some conventions (one side says this, the other side disagrees), and they have their formats (television is a sound bite format, talk radio is a hot format, etc.).
		It's fascinating how the partisans on both sides of the aisle, who feed on a steady diet of partisan commentary that reinforces their own opinions, think the non-partisan media is biased against them.
		Anyway, once the press realized that the complaints weren't the typical accusations of bias (which they comfortably dismiss as a matter of course), but were mocking attacks on their competency, they woke up fast.

		Identification with the political life and the institutions of the national, state and municipal governments has become a paramount obligation with him and that obligation must not be looked upon otherwise than the privilege that came to him by right of birth in this country.

	Our Next To Worthless Press § Lean Left
		The American press covered the bizarre press silence that surrounded the hostage crisis, but haven’t mentioned even the arrest, without explanation, of a journalist, who had just returned to Moscow from Beslan.
		The British press is very partisan, but it largely avoids the kinds of situations that e have in this country — where people who get their news primarily from FOX are much more likely to believe false statements about Iraq and al-Qaeda.
		That, in turn, is probably do to the fact that most of the British press is partisan: the Guardian has to deal with the fact that Murdoch’s papers are more than happy to call them on mistakes or bizarrely disconnected spin and vice versa.

		They say the press slants left on the abortion issue, sympathizes with Saddam Hussein, applauds big government, promotes gay issues, disparages religion, and is unconscionably cruel to conservative politicians.
		FDR called the press "200 percent Republican." Harry Truman liked to say that publishers and editors were Republicans but that all their Washington reporters were Democrats.

	Opinion: John Brown Redux - Poverty and the Partisan Press - The Suicide State - The Vernacularist Illusion
		Sectional interests and the national press whipped up memories of earlier slave uprisings in South Carolina and Haiti, charging that Brown had tried to start a fl insurrection to murder slave owners and their families.
		The good news is that, after having been ignored by the press during the first two years of the Clinton Administration, the poor are in for an explosion of attention from the media now that the Republicans have won the House and the Senate.
		Denominational leaders should make a concerted effort to press the ethical dimension of the issue, both within their religious communities and in the mainstream culture.

		Among the journalists, 80 percent thought a partisan press was a "bad thing," but only 53 percent of the public thought so.
		As we wrote, "we need a press corps that is willing to clarify complex issues for readers, weigh in on the merits of factual claims, and hold politicians accountable" -- and the "objective" media generally refuses to do so.

	Free Press : Issues : Bias
		In the early days of the American republic, the government used subsides and printing contracts to encourage the development a robust, free-wheeling and highly partisan press, existing to detail, analyze, and critique the activities of the government and political parties.
		The idea of non-political journalism was unthinkable; presenting a diversity of opinions and ideologies was seen as necessary to the function of democracy.
		The biggest barrier to such a press lies in present barriers to entry that effectively keep less well-heeled opinions out of mainstream debate, and the deliberate policies enacted which effectively keep this situation intact.

		They are so clearly carrying water for the left-liberal establishment, they were so clearly carrying water for the preening and partisan hacks who dominate the 9/11 commission, and the Washington Post's coverage of the news conference yesterday morning was so clearly teeing up Bob Woodward's next book, that the media nullified their hostility.
		Imagine it is April, 1943 and FDR is meeting with the press.

	A Review of The Rise and Fall of the Media Establisment by Darrell M. West
		Through case studies, West discusses five general stages: partisan media from the 1790s to the 1840s, the commercial media from the 1840s to the 1920s, the objective media from the 1920s to the 1970s, the interpretive media from the 1970s through the 1980s and the fragmented media which arose in the 1990s.
		Chapter two deals with the partisan media, in which there was little effort at objectivity on the part of the reporters, which then limited their overall credibility.
		In the era of the fragmented media "a new role for the local news, the rise of new networks, and tabloid press, talk radio, satellite technologies, the World Wide Web and the passage of the 1996 Telecommunications Act" were designed to spur competition and deregulate the industry (84).

	When Tyrannosaurus Press Roamed the States
		Understanding the partisan press of two centuries ago, Pasley writes, requires a "fairly radical shift in the typical contemporary perspective on the subject of the press and politics." Standards of impartiality restrain modern-day journalists from taking a role as "active political partisans, except on editorial pages and talk shows," Pasley claims.
		They actively campaigned, for themselves and others, and every serious politician, from Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, fervently courted the press as the preeminent vehicle of partisan power."I think it is completely fair to say that multiparty democratic politics could not have developed or sunk roots without the partisan press," said Pasley.
		This criticism may be ironic; but for the early politicians' belief in such a fallacy, the partisan press would never have emerged to become such a force in early American politics.
