Top journalists from The New York Times, NBC News and CNN acknowledged Wednesday that, generally speaking, the national media have a liberal bias.
On a Playbook Breakfast panel, the Times’ Peter Baker and Mark Leibovich, NBC’s Kelly O’Donnell and CNN’s Jake Tapper all said “yes” when asked if the news media lean left—though all agreed it was a nuanced issue having more to do with journalists’ life experiences than with any particular agenda.
“Most of my colleagues, I have no idea what their politics are. … But think about it: I live in northwest Washington, none of my neighbors are evangelical Christians, I don’t know a lot of people in my kid’s preschool who are pro-life,” Leibovich said. “When you have conversations, at all the newspapers I’ve worked at, about politics—it doesn’t happen often—but you see clues that there is absolutely a left-wing bias.” …

The fact that they freely admitted this is a remarkable breakthrough.

WOW, that is breaking news, along with the shocking revelation that the POPE IS CATHOLIC.
Quite a brain trust. Are they going to discover steam next?
Wow, I’m shocked.
I had no idea...
Well, shazam. Nobody knew it.
If by leaning to the left like marx, engels and stalin... then yes... THE AMERICAN PRESS LEANS LEFT!
Yes and I saw a bear poop in the woods too!
Total load right there. I always know a reporters politics after listening to them for 60 seconds. These are the same people who state that motivation is a mystery when a murderer is shouting alla akbar.
That is a more apt description.
They swatted at the Eagle. Now they are going to get the talons!
But think about it: I live in northwest Washington, none of my neighbors are evangelical Christians, I don’t know a lot of people in my kid’s preschool who are pro-life,” Leibovich said
How sad for you and for your child..
Maybe living a life of insulation and isolation is not a good thing...
Breaking News: Water is wet.
They admit it now because
1) They realize that they will continue to lean left.
2) They know that there is practically nothing we can do about it
It’s “nuanced” when they all use the word “gravitas” on the same day? The national media is nothing but the mouthpiece of the RAT Party. They use the same daily talking points just like the rest of the Commie Mob in Washington.
I suspect that there is a significant correlation over time with the decline of readers and viewers.
How about “completely fallen over, slobbering, plotting, extremely-committed-and-complicit left”?
