It's not a conspiracy, it's a prospiracy -- http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=67 http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=67 The prestige media -- NY Times, Vox, NPR -- all see themselves as being on the same team. They seem themselves as having a public responsibility to guide America toward a better, more progressive future, and to limit the errors of the retrograde, perhaps bigoted middle American. Thus, they all slant their coverage to fit that narrative and worldview. And if members fail to fit the narrative, if they say, "illegal immigrants" instead of "undocumented immigrants", they catch a lot of flak from their fellow teammates, they risk getting ostracized, and so over time everyone falls in line with a certain consensus.
