It also explains why almost all of them suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome.

A new study from Syracuse University’s Newhouse School of Public Communications found that just 3.4% of American journalists are Republicans.

The study is based “on an online survey with 1,600 U.S. journalists conducted in early 2022” and is the latest in a series of studies stretching back to 1971 that take the temperature of the fourth estate’s partisan lean, job satisfaction, and professional attitudes.

When the first iteration of the study came out over 50 years ago, 35.5% of respondents said they were Democrats, 25.7% said they were Republicans, and 32.5% said they were Independents. The percentage that call themselves Democrats or independents have bounced around over the years, with the proportion of Democrats reaching a high of 44.1% in 1992…

What a laughable, ridiculous statement, 4%. Absurd.

Everyone knows it is less than half a percent!

Pretty obvious from the daily Mockingbird Media gaslighting.

They’re all leftists and all propagandists.

Those 4% are likely predominantly squishy moderates versus the entire leftist media are rabid scum-sucking marxist propagandists.

It’s actually zero.

MSM “conservative journalist’s” are liberal.

Who’s that ugly crank? Jennifer Rubin

George Will a conservative? The guy who has to write Trump hit pieces so his wife will let him watch her take her socks off?

“This is why journalists at political debates often sound like they’re debating the Republican candidate – because they are. They see Republicans as opponents, not just political candidates.”

Then why on earth does the Republican party allow their candidates to go before a tribunal of Democrat moderators?

It’s insane.

Democrat moderators have been attacking Republican candidates and Republican voters for decades.

Those moderators (and journalists) are like Democrat appointed judges ruling on Republican defendants in election fraud cases or J6 protests. 100% hostile.

They are all on the Epoch Times. That’s much much less than 4%.
