Do you really think a large percent of the people who voted for Prop 8 subscribe to Newspapers? I think not. "Liberal elite media readers" did not vote for prop 8.

I don't mind saying that a large percentage of the readership of the New York Times supports Israel for Religious reasons. That is a secret to know one. It is just demographics. I am not ignorant enough to assert that The NYT has no Bias towards Israel nor would I claim that the San Francisco Chronicle has no opinion about Gay rights or that the Miami Herald is neutral about Castro. These are business and they have paying subscribers and they are not going to say anything to harm their business. At the very least they with tiptoe diplomatically around issues important to their subscriber bases.
