Liz Trotta of ''The Washington Post'' compared the rivalry to a similar sniping between certain publications in the eighteenth-century British press, such as the ''Analytical Review'' and its self-styled nemesis, the '' Anti-Jacobin Review''. The founder, Russ Smith, was a conservative who wrote a long column called "Mugger" in every issue, but did not promote just a right-wing viewpoint in the publication. The paper's weekly circulation in 2006 topped 100,000, compared to about 250,000 for the ''Village Voice'', but this total fell to 20,000 by the end of the paper's run. The ''Press'' touted a Manhattan-focused, controlled distribution system while a good portion of the ''Village Voice''s circulation is outside t ...
