Really interesting piece. Without any particular evidence other than my own perception on the discourse of journalism over the last 20 years or so, I had come to many of the same conclusions as the author (the leftward shift in journalism is due to decreasing wages and so people who accept status or the projection of their own ideology as currency will disproportionately take those jobs).
