I grew up thru 60s three network tv and print
And yes it leaned left
But nothing like this
The gap between Time and Mother Jones is ever closing
And TV is nutz...
Part of it is the minutiae of the agenda
Would leftist Cronkite and left leaning Paley today pimp for homosexual marriage and outright gun confiscation?
I was a college small L radical then......we thought the MSM was staid and right wing...lol
I read Crawdaddy and the aforementioned MJ and the Nation and Ramparts etc to counter that
As I progressed I moved on to the Economist and The New Republic etc in my early to mid 20s transition
By Magnus assasination attempt I was 180
I remember when US News and World Report was conservative.....
And try imagining Abe Rosenthal at the Old Grey Slattern today
