Huh? Of course there is such a "crowd". Who do you think can be a journalist in this country? You need, at the minimum, a college degree. Since it is a rather popular field, you will need to do an internship for no or minimal pay (this pretty much disqualifies anyone without significant parental suppot). And to get any of the previously mentioned qualifications, it will help enormously if you have been socialized/grown up in an environment that 1) speaks the correct dialect and 2) fosters interest in things like politics. And then, of course, lots of publications have deeply ingrained political (even social) leanings that they more or less openly display; if you want to get a job there, you better share the mindset.
