Neither fair nor balanced, journalistic warfare during America's first transfer of power. With the exception of Abraham Lincoln, no president prior to the twentieth century has been more vilified by the U.S. news media than Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson and the Press demonstrates the power of the press in the early years of the Republic. Four-fifths of the young nation's 235 newspapers were Federalist, but, as Jerry W. Knudson explains, the minority Republican newspapers combated these odds through direct invectives and vehemently candid editorials.
