I worked as a copyeditor at a local paper as a joke to see what it was like there and how long I would last. I made it three months. It's the only job I was fired from and I've been working for two decades. Here are the reporters I encountered there:

• white male boomer who called himself a democratic socialist, who once openly stated his desire to marry Mazie Hirono, whose articles consistently quoted only one establishment source, with no one ever complaining. He was the only guy who seemed to be happy there, and I believe it was because he already had Medicare/Social Security;
• white female Gen Xer who revealed that she was an anti-vaxxer pre-pandemic because of bad experiences with doctors (fuck anti-vaxxers but the unbelievably shitty healthcare situation in the USA is one of many reasons for their proliferation);
• white female Gen Xer who published a book about a local anarchist but seemed terrified of losing her job. She barely ever said anything and would just shut herself down if anything even remotely political came up in office discussion. She also had the hardest job out of everyone, having to attend town meetings with dozens of local petite bourgeois scum arguing about taxes for five hours, well into the night, at least once per week, and almost certainly not being paid for it. She and the last lady both had elementary-aged kids.
• white female Gen Xer, the editor, who left her shitty dog in her car all day because on the rare occasions when she brought it to the office, it would bite people, including me. Two other workers, the coolest people there (they were involved in advertising and secretarial work) yelled at her for this. She fired me because I refused to approve a transphobic article the white boomer had written. (I've mentioned this on hexbear only about eighty times.) A few months later, she herself was demoted and then fired. The newspaper now has a new white lady editor who is bending over backwards to make the paper as inoffensive as possible.
• me, a white-passing millennial communist dude finishing the day's work within an hour or two, with several hours to go until I was allowed to leave, being bored out of my mind in a stale depressing office, working on my own books whenever the boss's back was turned, kind of thinking it was funny that they were paying me to do that even though the pay fucking sucked ($13/hr). Toward the end I was kind of trying to get fired and slipped shit into articles about the USA being built on theft, rape, and murder. Nobody ever caught it or complained.

I suspect all corporate papers are more or less like this, even our beloved New York Times. Whatever the reporters' personal beliefs, if they don't toe the bourgeois line, they're out.
