the papers I worked at gor J-school grads semi regularly. They are as left as you say.
There are the SJWs that think they will change the world through their brilliant intellect and sense of ‘justice’ and the type that think TV journalists and the ‘Crusading Reporter’ are still real things. The two do overlap.
What they lack is any writing ability or reporting ability. Most are of low IQ and that is not a joke. I mean low IQ for real. As in stupid as a box of rocks because their beliefs, not their skills got them their diploma/grades from their liberal professors.
Many go to J-school because they can't cut it at other programs. It also has flash glamorous appeal, too.
