“We need Conservative’s to encourage their children to enter Journalism/Education “

As a vet of the MSM on the regional newspaper level, I’ll relate a story. Our editor had a standard speech that he gave to the new J school hires. It began with the following...

“Forget everything you were taught. This is how I do things.”

The MSM is controlled by two things. Ad revenue and the whim of the publisher. The former is secondary to the later and I lived through one once publishing group run itself into near bankrupcy so the Publisher could see his agenda played out. Two really but that’s another story.

My point is that unless those kids own the media outlets, their conservatism will be supressed. Hard. I cannot tell you how many of my honest stories were spiked so as to not upset one friend of the Publisher or another. And every reporter in that office could tell you the same...if they were still there. Many left out of integrety and the rest laid off. Today there are 4 where there were once more than a dozen. What’s left is real accomodating to keep their jobs.
