Picking a liberal story/byline somewhat at random...have you noticed that all these so-called reporters look like they graduated high school yesterday?
Nobody is going into journalism except the true believers (read: young leftists) because the pay is horrid and will remain horrid due to a dying advertising/circulation model.
This means only the ideologues are interested. Google any byline from ‘reporters’ at CNN et al and you will see the same thing: a load of selfie-taking idiots congratulating themselves on working for a brand name without mentioning their pittance of a salary.
Somewhat incredibly, these neophytes are regularly called upon to write on complex political and economic stories despite an almost total lack of formal or informal knowledge of the subject. But their schooling has been strictly of the Marxist variety and they haven’t been out of school long enough to be mugged by reality.
They often compensate by seeking the extreme ends of any story. For example, a blurb about a new bar opening will be accompanied by irrelevant carping from MADD or the police about DUIs. In J-School they were told this represents ‘balance’ but it’s simply more of the (unnecessary) polarization they claim to abhor.
Shorter version: hiring the ignorant and printing their ignorance can only produce more of the same.
Jamming a leftist agenda into a “news report” is SOP, not only for the Austin newsrag, but also the local fifth-column (ABCCBCNBC) propaganda broadcast stations in Austin.
Whenever a news story contains a conservative or Christian action or message, the local TV “reporter” will close with an extended counterpoint from some area leftist.
If the story is about some leftist perversion, no matter how morally disgusting, it’s treated as normal, and no conservative or Christian response is included unless it is edited to make it insignificant or out of place.
