Here in NY, there are all kinds of views to be heard and read from the far left to the far right. The venerable New York times, liberal, the Wall Street Journal conservative. Even among the tabloid papers and news weekly a wide spectrum of leanings is available for consumption. Fox News has its HQ here, and Murdoch now owns the Journal, as well as TV and radio holdings.
