The causality runs the other way. Journalists have an inherent tendency to promote themselves, and promote journalism. Politicians have the inherent motivation to promote themselves, and the easy way for a politician to promote himself is to toady to the journalists and get the journalists to reciprocate.Journalists and politicians have every incentive to promote the idea that the people you depend on are crooks or incompetents, because saying so puts the journalist and the politician on a higher level than the people who actually provide your milk, eggs, bread, electricity, fuel, automobiles, medicine and medical care, etc, etc.
Journalists give good PR to politicians who promote journalism. They call them "progressive" or "liberal" (which, until the 1020s, was the word for what is now called "conservative") and they put positive spin on the behavior and policies of such politicians.

So, conservatives are well advised to try a different strategy: Rather than whining about it forever while doing nothing and leaving the field to the communists, conservatives should go on the offensive and set up their own public broadcasting network! Look here for plans and activities in that direction.After all, NPR is nothing more than their left-wing, partisan mouthpiece.
