Paging Captain Obvious........

[God luvs America]

if the guy is admitting that “most” journalists he knows are rats it really means 99.9% of them are...

This just in...”Most Rabbis are Jewish”.

In other news: “Scientists discover that rocks are hard - water is wet”

... that the national political press is against "ideological zealoutry" and is "centrist:"

Yes that makes sense when you realize that that same group thinks that Fox News is far right and that the National Democrat Party is also 'centrist'. If your perspective is already left of center, then everything else is skewed and the nice thing about being a progressive is that everything to the right of you is EVIL.

I have no doubt.

Conservative crusaders go into business, the military, etc. They want to make a difference.

Liberal crusaders go into journalism. They want to talk about people who make a difference.

[BookmanTheJanitor]

if you put all of the reporters that I’ve ever worked with on truth serum, most of them vote Democratic,"

so he's admitting that, not only do most reporters vote Democrat, but, that they also will lie when necessary.

“Liberal crusaders go into journalism. They want to talk about people who make a difference.”

That’s the reason that SOUNDS good. The REAL reason is that they want to hob-nob with the rich & famous, get invited to Georgetown cocktail parties and White House shindigs, and maybe get laid.

VandeHei's remarks contradict his earlier expressed belief that the news media favor "centrist" politicians and policies.

Not a contradiction at all...it's a distinct difference in what defines "centrist".

As a DU lurker, I can assure you there are hard core lefties who think Maddow is a mainstream moderate.

The question is why? and how do we fight it?

• We know conservative students are discouraged from pursuing journalism degrees in colleges. How do we change this?
• They are probably further weeded out in the hiring process, right out of school. How do we change this.
• We know the MSM is owned by liberals and Muslims. How do we change this?

  For a while Fox news was an alternative, and people voted with their feet. Now Soros has control at Fox. Conservative talk radio is still an alternative, but it's not clear to me why the medium (MSM vs Talk Radio) should have polarized on ideology.

[ex-snook]

But just why are newspeople and professors Democrats? It’s been so for quite some time.
