So I lurk a lot, both keep sane during the week, and to pick up some story ideas. I wanted to make this post a while ago and chickened out, but seeing that post about Maddow fawning over Biden's new dog made me want to try with this account again.
US media is absolutely a big-L Liberal institution. But you'd be surprised how many socialists, or socdems at least, write for smaller and mid-size newsrooms. So AMA about trying to be a reporter with leftist views in a decidedly anti-left racket, or about the inner workings of American news outlets that aren't CNN, MSNBC or Fox.
No you've got about the size of it. Star reporters who agree with the publisher's views get promoted to editor, everyone else stays put or leaves. I've had a publisher straight up tell me before that they won't publish something I wrote because they'd lose subscriptions over it, though.
Very interesting.
It's like that in other professional fields as well. That's essentially the point of graduate schools and professional selection processes, to narrow down potential representatives to those who will be ideologically compliant without explicitly stating that this is the point.
And what happens to the rest of us who won’t tow the line? We just drink ourselves to death or slave away forever as members of the lower class i guess…. I hate this world
