Not exactly, when I was about to graduate from college I was in the middle of ObamaMania at the University of Iowa. You would be shocked by how liberal these J-Schools are reporters would go on and on about their love for the Democrats and if you came out as a conservative, which I did, your career would suffer. In journalism, you have to talk about politics, in the corporate world the issue can mainly be avoided and I have found that there are many more conservatives in business than there are in journalism.
Just my two cents, but so far in business I found out that if you work hard you get ahead, the same applies to journalism too, but you better be a lib because if you aren't that's a red mark against you and can negatively affect your career.
I was listening to Jason Lewis the other day and he was bemoaning the thought (basically a fact now) that liberalism is institutionalized based on the facts on the ground. Everywhere you look management cowers when confronted by the diversity crowd, never speaking up to these bullies that force acceptance of their worldview, but never accepting anything that confronts liberal dogma.
How is that diverse and accepting and why does nearly no one in corporate America ever stand up to these bullies? Why does no one seem to want to stand on their convictions and ultimately expose the double standard for what it really is?
At some point you have to punch the bully in the nose to make them stop, so far I haven’t seen it, not really anyway - no one withstands the protracted battle to its ultimate conclusion except to eventually acquiesce. Seems to me liberals never acquiesce.
This is ultimately what I was getting at. Politics is in any business, like it or not. Grievance mongering is a big part of that, but it is definitely politics.
