Theory Is Backward Review Confutes Agnew On Papers
A Columbia Journalism Review article by Ben Bagdikian argues U.S. newspapers are overwhelmingly Republican and conservative, not liberal as claimed by Agnew. It cites 1960 and 1968 endorsements for Nixon, regional conservatism, and studies showing pro-Republican bias in most papers with conservative editorial stances. The piece suggests publishers fear anti media rhetoric and notes antitrust exemptions for the A N P A.

New York AP Federal Communications Commissioner Nicholas Johnson criticized President Nixon's China visit as a political propaganda effort aimed at election year benefit. He said coverage framed the trip as a TV spectacle and urged reporting broader issues including ITT antitrust controversy and corporate influence on government power. Johnson argued the system, not the case details, is the problem.
