I worked with journalist majors in high school and college.

Was on papers and served in editor positions. Was News page editor. I was the News page editor, and got it drilled correctly into me what a proper news story is versus a feature story, or an editorial piece.

Everyone in college, especially the girls, were in journalism “to make a difference”. That’s your problem in journalism today right there. That meant pushing an agenda, a liberal agenda. That meant bolstering liberal politicans and groups, and targeting and trying to deliberately “take down” those politicians and groups that weren’t.

Yes.

It has been going on a long time.

There was a relatively short period when quite a few publications strove to be non-partisan.

It can only happen when the culture is pretty unified.
