But why do you leave out Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal?

I've heard the Christian Science Monitor has about as objective a perspective on the Middle East as possible for our media.

These three print news outlets, along with the two you mentioned, are the most powerful outlets in the United States--even dwarfing the AP in their capabilities and buy power.

If we were to judge the entire print media landscape based on the major players, we have 2 cast as liberal, 2 cast as conservative, and one in the middle.
