Need some help
Kelly
This is a link I found on the net, could a kind soul tell me which of these
newspapers are for the Democrats and which are for the Republicans?
I have some students who're doing a work on the US elections and they need
information that I couldn't give them.

Oh dear, I should have added that I only wanted about 10 main paper, but as
I couldn't find anything on the net myself but this link, I posted it.
Of, course I don't ask people to look them all up. I guess that if you live
in the US, you know which papaers are right or left. Maybe I could also ask
which papers are independent.
Thanks in advance-:)
It's not a trick question, I'm honestly asking for some help.

just my impressions:
the Los Angeles Times leans 'left', IMO.
The Chicago Sun-Times (Illinois) I dont know overall, but they certainly have
one of the best 'right' leaning columnists, Mark Steyn
Arizona Republic, editorial cartoonist Steve Benson seems anti-administration in
general hence presumably but not certainly pro-democrat.
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in fairness I dont normally read the editorials, but a
quick run-through this morning presents views from both sides.

Like so many these days, ours is a one-newspaper town. Many call our

The Associated Press, a powerful worldwide news source owned by its member daily
newspapers, has perpetrated a vile and slanderous lie about President Bush and his
supporters, and been caught read-handed. The smoking gun exists safe and sound
in the cache memory of countless blog sites. The AP's reporter wrote a dispatch
claiming that when President Bush told a rally of his supporters in West Allis, Wisconsin
that President Clinton had been hospitalized,
“the audience "of thousands booed. Bush did nothing to stop them."
Within seconds, the AP dispatch went around the world, and the lie was repeated.
In point of fact, eyewitnesses and listeners to radio and television reports could hear
that there was no audible booing, but there was supportive applause when the
President called on everyone to pray for ex-President Clinton’s recovery.

This is a tricky question, Kelly, though I suspect you didn't mean for it to
be! 'Good' papers are balanced & non-partisan for the most part ~ even though
there's a tendency toward liberalism or conservatism in most of them.
Your National list is the only one I can comment on. All but 3 are highly
regarded national papers with excellent reputations for high standards. The
Nando Times isn't published anywhere that I'm aware of, but is a sort of wire
service - primary resource for other media that is pretty good, so far as I
know. USA Today is a popular, and therefore lightweight, nationwide daily with
lots of colored pictures, though occasionally it breaks a story on its own.
It's well-regarded for what it is. The Washington Times is owned by the
"Reverend" Moon and is a thoroughgoing rightwing rag.
The WP, NYT & LAT all make an effort to balance their op-ed pages, but I think
they all endorsed Kerry [?]. The Monitor is the least partisan and arguably the
most respected paper in the bunch, though it's circulation isn't that large.
Suggestion for the papers of our 50 states: Assign several states to each
student and have them determine which is liberal or conservative on their own.
Tip: Who did the editorial board endorse in the '04 election?
HTH.

Thanks Marian, I'll add this to the info I've already got. I didn't mean it

Our students have something that's called TPE (travail personnel encadré).
They choose a subject which must be recognized by the examination board.
Then they work on it and sit for an oral.
These two students have chosen the American elections and what influence the
media might have on the public opinion. That was why they wanted to know
which paper leaned left and which right.
So it's not a work I've given them, they just interviewed me for their
dossier. What kind of impression I had and people I knew, etc. ..

There's nothing wrong with such interests, but I've decided that most
genealogy involves far too little actual ancestry while emphasizing only a
small number, usually defined by last name.
Forgive my rant, but remember that women are as important as men. Every
marriage combines two genetic lines of equal importance. Every individual
has two parents, two grandparents, four greats, etc. Actually, every
generation doubles the number of ancestors one has. In only 30 genrations,
each of us had had something like 12,000,000 direct ancestors.
In my case, the name Hammond appeared 30 times during those 30 generations.
Other names of equal importance appeared 11,999,970 times.
How big is your family tree?
8^)
Val Adams
You must love my approach, then, as three of the five pages I have up follow
the female lines primarily. All us girls from matriarchal sub-cultures are
biased that way. It's not my fault the core families were so prolific, and
collaterals are as much fun to find as any other.
just under 3000; about a fourth with good docs. No Hammond, AFAIR.

So you're into genealogy too? Nice to know, it's my passion-:)
I've obviously worked out both the male and the female lines. Back in the
17th century, it becomes more difficult to follow the female lines as they
were often referred to without their names. It's very frustrating, but
that's what the situation is like.
I have over 11000 people in my data now.
http://gw.geneanet.org/kellypetit
Of course, mathematically speaking you'll have that many forefathers, but
what I very often have found is that when I get back to the 16th and 17th
century, the same couple will be my ggggg....grandparents many times over.
I don't even have to go that far to find that 4 or 5 children of the same
parents are all my ancestors.
My own grandparents on my mother's side were 3rd cousins, that shows you how
complicated or maybe easy things are-:)
My great great grandfather is buried in Kansas, I have hundreds and hundreds
of cousins over there. My father's brother emigrated to America too, and two
of my mother's aunts. So I also have a lot of second cousins over there.

confess small communities are much easier to follow.

Time was, the Newberry was second only to the Mormon Genealogy library in
Salt Lake City. I've spent a little time at the Newberry.
I believe the computer will eventually have ALL genealogical data available
to all. It shouldn't even be that far off....
Val Adams
I have been there, but when I was very young, before my interest in genealogy.
I believe their collection is still first class, but awkward to use by mail.
Yes, online archives are growing just about daily. one of the fee-based groups
has US census images from 1790 (the first) forward, and have recently added
indexing for 1900. Free sites are growing also, at least two that I know of have
large collections of headstone pix as well as the more usual b & d indexes.
An oddly useful collection is the Chicago City Council proceedings from 1833 to
about 1870. It was thought all that material had been lost in the fire, but
someone found these stuck away somewhere and the state archivists put them up on
line.
Jane
I don't think that is necessarily the case.
It's true that I can trace my father's family back further than my mother's.
But that is only because his family were United Empire Loyalists. Since they
were such an important part of Canadian history, there is a lot of interest
in genealogy among families descended from them, and I was able to connect
with some other researchers.
I have, at least, found the record of my mother's great-grandparents'
marriage in 1813 online, so I don't think I can be described as ignoring my
mother's ancestry.
When I retire, I'm going to get a lot more serious about my research.

It's very interesting and time consuming too. Once I get started on
something, I just can't stop. I've done the family trees for most of my
nieces' husbands now and also my grandkids' paternal ancestors. I've come so
far with my own that only a miracle would give me more there. But who

Yes, it's amazing what you find online, but, of course, one should always
check with the source. In Norway we have a lot of data online now, the
University in Bergen has created a special service for genealogists. It's
free and it's perfect-:)

Absolutely check! I have seen people with so-called lines that
are quite wrong (in areas I have first-hand information on).

Of course, when you get back to the 13th or 12th century even the
specialists tend to quarrel about what is right and what is wrong.
I post to a private group at the university and there are often quite
entertaining discussions. Some are so long that there are a few hundred
replies to them.
No problem with where to post and what to leave out as each post is dated
and turn automatically up underneath the last-:) Fortunately they have
numbers and names, so we know who and what we're replying to.

Well, of course, my first-hand info doesn't date back that far.
As far as the really old stuff goes, it is most discouraging when
the experts disagree. Makes me feel there's no hope for me to
ever unravel it.

I know what you mean. Many a time I've been enchanted only to fnd later that
the whole line didn't work.
But it's like a puzzle and one bit here and one bit there makes you feel
happy. (your name disappeared, but I put it back)

It's because you have set up your name in your sig line, Jean-:) The sig
line automatically disappears when I reply.
