Talk:Alternative media (U.S. political right)/cutting room floor
History edit
Additionally, after Rupert Murdoch purchased the New York Post, its editorial pages exhibited a clear rightward slant.
Criticism edit
Despite Nixon's and Reagan's rhetoric, there were, for most of the 20th century, many instances of traditional media outlets that reflected conservative ideology. Most notable of these included the staunchly right-wing Los Angeles Times under Harry Chandler's stewardship; all newspapers owned by William Randolph Hearst; the isolationist, anti-New Deal Chicago Tribune under Colonel Robert R. McCormick; and Henry Luce's entire Time, Inc. publishing empire.
Fairness Doctrine edit
A thorough account of the issues surrounding the Fairness Doctrine and the Red Lion case can be found in The Good Guys, The Bad Guys and The First Amendment: Free speech vs. fairness in broadcasting by Fred W. Friendly (Random House; 1976) (ISBN 0-394-49725-2).
