Question is, can we have freedom without a free media ?

Why does a free media seem to always "hang to the left ?"

Why does a free media seem to always "hang to the left ?"

That's an interesting question. I think part of it is arrogance. People in the media have come to think of themselves as "enlighteners," as being a class of people who educate the rest of us, so there's a kind of elitism involved. Leftism is always elitism, despite all the talk of "the people" and "democracy." Plus, Watergate was a huge event in the mind of American journalists; things won't return to normal until the Watergate generation is dead. Ever since Watergate, journalists have all wanted to be "players," to topple an administration, to expose a scandal. Isn't it moronic the way every scandal has the word "-gate" affixed to it?

Most students of journalism are liberals, and most journalism departments are to the left of Karl Marx.

Vermin always gravitate to places where they can survive and multiply.

The left learned 100 years ago they can easily spread their propaganda via the media and then claim "free speech" when they are caught lying. Same with academia. They use our protections for liberty to destroy liberty.

[Jezebelle]

Becuase the Left now dominates and has dominated for some time the universities that grind these jackasses out by the thousands every year, sending them into all manner of influential professions, journalism being one of the most prevalent.
