( please no where did you get this info) surveys have been taken over the years that show that 90% of journalist voted democratic. Would this not affect the way news is reported.

I always ask what people mean by a "tilt to the left." What does left mean? I remind people that John Kerry, Edward Kennedy, and Howard Dean would probably be pretty good members of the Conservative Party in the U.K.
When the right wing sets the standard for what conservative is it means pretty much anyone in the U.S. is a lefty.

It shouldn't be, but it is tilted. We must remember that journalists answer to editors, and editors answer to owners and other big shots. Journalists must report in the manner in which their superiors tell them to. It's not up to the journalist how they report a story - mainly for tv news.

by definition itself journalism is a liberal art..
most cultural,intellectual,technological and scientific people are more liberal...
the "right" or conservative is just that...conservative thought,rational,etc...not really a thoughtfull or insightful bunch
