Editorial view on press balance in the 1952 campaign
A group of 96 authors accuses U S newspapers of biased coverage in the Eisenhower Stevenson race. The Associated Press study of 115 papers found Democrats favored in 47 percent, Ike and Stevenson even in 32 percent, and Eisenhower favored in 21 percent, with many papers leaning toward fair coverage overall. The piece argues presidential presence in news naturally multiplies publicity and notes critics may misinterpret balanced treatment.
