I feel like if a mainstream lib journalist tried to report it like that their editorial board would send it back. You're absolutely right that we can radicalise individual journalists but those journalists aren't allowed to publish their radical takes and if they insist they're told to seek work elsewhere, so I don't think doing so would majorly affect reporting.

I'll admit I've never really tried though. I'm just going off theory/stuff I've read by mainstream journos who were radicalised.

Have you had any success changing reporting by tweeting at the reporters?
