Agreed. But a media system that is so overly imbalanced does a disservice to the nation...voters don’t get the information they need to make an informed choice.
In other words, let the opinion mongering continue, but it should be balanced so the electorate gets full value from the media and has the ability to make effective decisions by seeing both sides to an argument instead of one.
The inbalance comes where 80% of the journalists subscribed to one set of opinions. This, because journalism schools are equally inbalanced. Liberals are drawn to education in a way that conservatives are not, in part because they hold to the dogma of the perfectibility of man thru education.
