Once concede that the only thing that matters to your business is bad news - while claiming that your newspaper is objective - and your conservative newspaper owner can write conservative editorials ’til the cows come home, and still be operating a “liberal” propaganda organization.

So why then did they censor bad news under the Obama administration?

Besides, I wasn't really talking about Newspapers. I was talking about organizations with hundreds of millions of viewers per week. The Broadcasting television system.

why then did they censor bad news under the Obama administration?

I did not say that newspapers or broadcasters are in fact owned by conservatives, I asserted that the very business model of journalism is a fit for “Liberalism.” So much so that you would have to be self-consciously conservative to make the slightest dent in the milieu in which you are operating.

In reality that inherent bias due to the business model has, long since, purged all conservatives from the business. So you have people who are looking for bad news about society, not about government. Bad news about government is an occasion only for more government, certainly not for deregulation.

The AP (and all wire services) homogenizes journalism. So the political perspective which aligns best with the business model which best makes journalism commercially successful is promoted - and any contrary model runs into journalism’s antibodies. Gets rejected as “not objective, not a journalist.”
