"...But I can tell you that, during my career, professional standards were definitely higher in the hometown press..."

I would definitely think so. In a big organization like the lettered news media entities, they are so big and run by Leftists, that there would be less ownership and responsibility. In a smaller, regional press, the decisions on what to print and how to say it or slant it rest in the hands of more accessible people, I would think. At places like NBC, they have people up the chain who are largely immune and insulated from the ramifications of their Leftist proclivities.

A dear friend, now passed on, ended a 30 year, award winning career w the Boston Globe in the late sixties. One day he just snapped “I quit, you’re all a bunch of effin communists”. He told me once “when newspapermen became journalists that was the end of it”. He went on to bigger things in state government, which ended when Dukakis asked him why he refused to work for him. “Because Mike, you’re stupid”. Not making those guys anymore.
