I’ve never engaged much in media criticism, for two simple reasons. First, it’s almost too obvious. Yes, the mainstream media is liberal. Always has been. And—just as important—always will be. Mainstream journalism tends to attract do-gooders who are out to save the world. Researchers from Arizona State University and Texas A&M University in 2018 surveyed 462 financial journalists. More than 58% admitted to being “very liberal or somewhat liberal.” Another 37% described themselves as “moderate.” Precisely 4.4% said they leaned right of center.
