Actually, you're totally wrong about this, and if you took a step back you'd see the big picture. 80% of paper journalists are registered Democrats.
There was the most amazing Ombudsman column in our Sacramento paper last weekend. It's one of those papers that tilts severely left, but then denies that it's biased. Sound familiar?
Anyway, the ombudsman got a raft of letters after the paper (predictably) endorsed Kerry. He did some research, and it turns out that the paper had not endorsed a Republican presidential candidate in 86 years.
Wow.
That's a long time, huh? But maybe if each and every one of those Republicans "didn't mess up so much" as you put it, they would have been endorsed.
And I've got some land to sell you in our Yolo Causeway. Look it up...
As one of the letter-writers put it, "the only qualification Kerry needed to get [the paprer's] endorsement is that he's a Democrat." You can deny it, but media bias is statistically proven, and that bias is to the left.
