Skip down to this part - it's a real gut-buster.

Most journalists are Democrats. But that doesn't necessarily help Democrats or hurt the GOP in the way whiny conservatives like to imagine. In a Democratic White House, journalists identify with the administration, whose policies and beliefs tend to mirror their own. But this familiarity makes it easy to criticize when things go wrong (and even when they don't). Reporters understand a Democratic administration's flaws more readily because it's made up of people much like themselves.

Yeah, I loved that part to. Handy hint to liberal opinion writers: When the president gets impeached, or is caught receiving "service" from a girl almost as young as his daughter in a room right next to the Oval Office, journalists are going to cover it, and it's going to be the top story for a long time. It doesn't matter whether the president is GOP or RAT. The only thing that outweighs a journalist's desire to cover all stories from a distinctly left-wing viewpoint is his desire to be a muckraker that changes the course of the entire nation by reporting on corruption and sleaze at the highest levels of government.
