[They MSM leaned lib from Roosevelt on, but until the Nixon take down, it hadn’t become so obvious.]

In the aftermath of Watergate young activists flocked to journalism schools and into U.S. newsrooms and TV stations. They founded a fledgling cult. Eventually they became senior reporters, editors, columnists, editorial writers, anchors and commentators. They remain the gatekeepers of recruiting and hiring in the news business and enforce political conformity with an iron hand.

In case you think Brad is hyperbolic, I was in the print media for about 20 years, from the late 1970s to the late 1990s. He understates the circumstances.
