I would assume that most journalists went into their chosen field as hard-core leftists and have never looked back. Many, not all, have a smug, sanctimonious, condescending, ultra-liberal view of the world which facts do not alter. They desperately WANT to believe that Bush is a greedy, oil-supported moron, our military leaders are all ex-baby killers who lust to conquer more "innocent" countries to play with their war toys, and servicemen and women are hicks and rubes deluded by the promise of free education at tech school and a uniform. They "know" what's right and wrong, and if we would just put them in charge, what a loving, caring and sharing world we would have. Excuse me while I vomit.
