...newspapers are "Tory." When told that in a recent poll, 300 out of 800 newspapers showed pro-New Deal, he said he did not believe it. Sitting in on this press conference was Editor-Publisher Joseph Medill Patterson of the huge, warmly pro-Roosevelt tabloid New York Daily News. The President said he believed Mr. Patterson's paper was the only one with a large circulation that was for him or the New Deal...
