Tim -- concluding the media are biased because 70% of newspapers came
out for Ronald Reagan is going a little far -- roughly 59% of the
popular vote was for Reagan, and if you break it down by districts -- as
with the newspaper reading areas or electoral college voting, you get an
even larger percentage for Reagan.

I very much  doubt that showing that the newspapers are roughly
in accord with the populace shows them to be especially biased.  I do
agree that the press partakes of the biases of the people around them.
