I don't think journalists are just interested in job security. They have a political agenda which, by and large, is left wing.
You don't think journalists want to get/keep jobs? You don't think editors want their newspapers to be influential and financially successful?Of course they do. And the way they learned to do that is to always meet their deadlines, to select stories based on emotional impact, "if it bleeds, it leads." I am saying that what makes a newspaper successful is what drives a newspaper to be liberal. Only "liberal" isn't the right word. It's the exact same attitude, but in a journalist it's called "objective."
I am saying that successful newspapers are shallow, negative to the point of cynicism, and arrogant. Looked at it from an economic standpoint you can understand why it would be that way - and looked at from a political perspective, it is leftism. Because all leftism is is second guessing the people who are responsible to get things done. People who actually do things can always be second guessed, and leftism is nothing but second guessing. That's why when a liberal like x42 got into executive office he didn't do the job of president, he simply kept doing the job he was good at - which was running for president. Permanent campaign.
