At center, a woman wearing a newspaper dress drinks “Subsidy Brand” champagne chilling in a bucket labeled “Wall Street Cooler,” while a man labeled “Corporate Interests” writes a check. A bust statue of “Horace Greeley” is visible in the background. The entire scene is framed by an octopus with tiny male figures caught in its tentacles. Surrounding vignettes show a newspaper editor as he looks to his staff (larger than life) and to the newspaper owners (diminutive), a “Business Manager” telling an “editorial writer” to tone down comments about a “forest spoliation matter [because] the boss has acquired some interests out there,” and a newspaper reader “who has read the paper for forty years” influenced by the resulting editorial – “I guess that western forest steal ain’t as bad as they made it out. This editorial says it’s been grossly exaggerated.”

Comments and Context

People today are aware, and often concerned, that newspapers show bias. In fact since before the Revolution most newspapers were intended to assert partisan points of view. Readers expected and often welcomed the situation. It was only in the twentieth century that newspapers self-identified as neutral or independent or non-partisan, or “news only,” even if editorial pages leaned left or right, Democrat or Republican. That facade faded away, or morphed into outright partisanship.
