I agree however it doesn't explain why the MSM tilts to the left and call it objective journalism. One surely can tilt to the right under the same medium and achieve a greater audience given that Americans consider themselves more conservative on issues than liberal. I would hazard the reason why the MSM tilt to the left is because they have somehow taken upon themselves to be the "guardians" of the disenfranchised, voice of the voiceless and all that crap. It is elitism mascarading as social consciousness. Hell they are the offshoot of years at liberal colleges and with the supposed arrogance that their diplomas offers to presume to be arbitrators of truth, justice and the american way. They live in an echo chamber pure and simple.

Like Bernard Goldberg said; the place where you will find the least diversity is in the newsrooms of america! And that's the way it is.

I've come to the view that it's difficult to overestimate the effect of the arrogance of "objective" journalism. Arrogance, combined with cowardice in the sense that the individual journalist doesn't control journalism and depends on the protection of the rest of journalism. The result is a bullying attitude toward anyone whose principles or interests cause them to refuse to go along and get along with journalism.

The only people whose interests run counter to journalism are those whom reality rather than illusion favors. People who work to a bottom line rather than a PR bluff.
