Guys - I don't dispute that journalists are predominantly liberal. Some but not all mainstream news outlets are arguably liberal biased, just as some are conservative biased (we do have a more even split here).
It is hard for your media - on an international basis they aren't "liberal". They are in the centre. Should they be right of that to avoid bias in the US? Maybe so - you guys might be right.
But the main point I want to make is that a lot of the time the sins that you guys (and others) blame on the media being "liberal" should more correctly be blamed on the media being sluts to ratings and making money. In this instance I believe they are whoring themselves to whatever works in the public eye.
