As a retired journalist, I'm just gonna say it: The reason that journalism and reporting a news media tends to become left wing over time is because the people writing the news and trying to stay neutral are paying attention. You cannot possibly pay attention to the real world and not become progressive. To not become compassionate while listening to people's tragedies and injustices all day is inhuman.
- tqi 4y agoYou don't think the fact that newsrooms are overwhelmingly college educated people with Liberal Arts backgrounds has anything to do with it?
- oaththrowaway 4y agoBeing compassionate isn't the same thing as being progressive. Totally illogical to think that giving the reigns to the government to solve all injustice is silly. But I guess that makes me inhuman.
- antod 4y agoI often see Americans say the media is left wing, but from outside the country it really doesn't look like any US media is left wing. It just seems like "left wing" means a bit critical of republicans. It's more about team affiliation and who you criticise than actual politics.
