As I said on another thread today,
“But having worked with reporters (I was one) it’s close to home. And I promise you that finding what this guy claims is a rare event (Edit: an honest reporter). Because most are doing a job for a paycheck and write what they are told to or are SJWs out to reshape the world in their vision.”
I'm sure this is true for some, but I suspect the vast majority are ideologues first, and journalists second, especially in terms of large cities like New York or Los Angeles.
Likewise, it isn't just reporters who are the problem. As you indicated, the administration of these press agencies is heavily responsible for their hiring and staffing practices.
Conservatives simply do not have a voice in media markets where the American people can hear them. The places that have the viewers, are completely liberal, both in news and entertainment.
The entertainment industry is also a major propaganda agent for liberal thinking and policies. As has been mentioned earlier, you can't hardly turn on the television now without seeing a "gay this" or "gay that" incorporated into the show.
