They generally have been fairly conservative in the past and it will show up when the current crop of goofballs retire

Not unless more conservatives go into journalism in college and so far I have not seen evidence of such a trend. So your statements sound more like wishful thinking. But I certainly hope you are right.

To: plain talk

History and journalism are unrelated. Newspapers from all ages have been distorted, expecially in the US and Britain and are never used as primary sources because they are written by (and have been for many, many years) people who understand nothing more than writing English well, a skill that has become far less valuable in the age of the Internet.

If you are alluding to the oft quoted phrase “the newspaper is the first draft of history” or some such nugget, that is nothing more than the fevered delusions of hack writers who couldn’t research their way out of a paper bag.

There are conservative historians coming up and I will be glad to read them.
