Journalism by it's very nature is more likely to be liberal. Think about it. What else are you qualified to do in the real world? What tangible good can you produce?

Been this way since the Clinton News Network went full on shill in the 1990's.

RE: If this is true...WHY is it so?
I've never met, in real life at least, an honest journalist.

Every time I have experienced the media it has left a very negative impression on me.

No. People like Walter Cronkite and Chet Huntley and David Brinkley had integrity. People knew they weren't getting spin from them. Liberals gradually took over journalism schools and newspapers and the media. Even Tom Brokaw seemed to recognize what had happened when he went on NBC during the Republican convention the other day. His comments went over the other heads of the other NBC reporters.

In my freshman English class our teacher asked us to introduce ourselves, our majors and why we chose it. The journalism major stood up and said she chose journalism because she wanted to manipulate people's opinions. Its obvious there are a lot of people in media who share that motivation. They do it by what stories they select, how prominently they place them, their language (eg cop vs. police officer) and not so subtly putting editorials into news stories.

I have a close friend with the Star Tribune here in Minnesota and he's an honest (and very good) journalist when reporting on things like business and agriculture.

But when he moved to the crime desk his biases were clear as day.......... As he explained to me, he got into journalism to "put truth to power", and he definitely used his bully pulpit on the crime desk to forward a very anti-gun, it's everybody's fault but the criminal perspective on things.

Because Trump is an outsider. And he's hiding what he's claiming makes him the best candidate, his business acumen.

H has been in the public eye for decades. There's not much more to know.

Sure there is!

Question 1: Madame Secretary, there are claims from members of your Secret Service detail that you routinely verbally abused them during their protection of you and your family. Madame Secretary, will you abuse your Secret Service staff while you are President?

Question 2: Additionally, the same members of your Secret Service protective detail noted that you and President had numerous angry fights, which included broken items and having medical staff attend to a black eye on the President. Madame Secretary, when did you stop beating your husband?

Question 3: It has been shown conclusively that your gross inattention to detail on your personal email servers has endangerd US national security. Madame Secretary, as President do you promise to only use approved communication technology or will you still use personal, unsecured email that will put America at risk?

Question 4: Your husband Bill Clinton has routinely been accused of sexual harassment, and even rape. Can you please speak as to why you continued to enable, and continue to enable today, your husband's criminal sexual activity?

Shall I go on? I got a bunch more.

There is plenty more to know since she's hidden it away. For now at least. Reason she has not held a press conference in 8 months.

I can't wait for the **** to hit the fan.

Madam Secretary, a Mr. Assange on line one....

Let's do this:

Madam Secretary: You laughed like a hyena when you spoke about getting charges against a rapist of a 14 year old girl tossed out. Do you laugh like a hyena whenever all rapists of 14 year old girls get away with it, or only those rapists you represented?

Followup: Why do you hate little girls?

Go ahead...ask that question...so you could be made a fool of. 03-lol

It was a 12 year old girl, not 14. The charges were not tossed out. It was plea bargained down and the guy served a year in jail and got 4 months probation. Yes, she chuckled a few times about the unusual aspects of the case in an interview several years later with an author who was laughing many times in the interview himself. Regardless, none of the laughs were about getting the plea or the rape itself or the victim. These attempts by you guys just look more and more ridiculous the harder you try.

/clears throat.

Madame Secretary, are you saying if these hacked Democrat Party emails were not obtained through legal means, that these emails don’t exist? Please clarify if the messages in the emails are legitimate.

Madam Secretary, many Americans sympathize with African-American's and their experiences with slavery, but considering how many Americans of all stripes are too busy working, raising my family and paying taxes to worry about things that happened 150 years ago, how long should the vestiges of slavery be held up as a mark against America?

Madame Secretary, Americans are struck by the reflexive ease with which liberals trot out the word "racism" without much in the way of an argument. Limiting immigration = racism; supporting Brexit = racism; bringing up Islamic terrorism = racism. What will you do to actually end real racism in this country like the soft liberal bigotry of low expectations of minorities?

Madame Secretary, as a hard-working straight male with an education, a family, and a job I'm the bad guy in all the liberal narratives. Why do liberals continue to speak, write and think so negatively about straight white males?

Madame Secretary, black men are about 6% of the population, are about 30% of those shot by police…and are 52% of the murder and 56% of the armed robbery arrests. What do you say to these statistics and what will you do to encourage a reduction in crime among black males?

Madame Secretary, St Paul is run by very liberal Democrats. Minnesota is run by liberal Democrats. We have the most liberal President ever. Yet there is so much starvation going on in St Paul and Minneapolis that the city has to send food trucks out in the neighborhoods to give out free food. Daily. If you stop at almost any stop light in Minneapolis or St Paul you will see a homeless panhandler just trying to get a few cents to buy some food for the day. You’ll notice that this mostly happens only in cities with one-party rule, so what will you do to address starvation and homelessness in America's universally Democrat urban centers?

Madame Secretary, if a poll tax is an unconstitutional limitation of the right to vote, is not a gun tax an unconstitutional limitation on the right to bear arms? Please answer with a Yes or a No.

Madame Secretary, there’s no doubt that thanks to the left pushing $15 minimum wage that kiosks and automation are the future of fast food. What do you say to those unemployed by future automation due to the increase in the minimum wage?

Madame Secretary, it's a fairly straightforward fact that black shooters have been targeting law enforcement officers due to violent, left-wing BLM rhetoric...... When will you declare BLM a domestic terrorist organization?

Madame Secretary, if there isn't enough money for the poor, or for the government, or for the growth policies people desire, people can always pay more by sending money directly to the government directed to those programs. Will you encourage Democrats to send extra money to the State or Federal government to pay for the welfare, social, and other programs they desire?

And since I didn't get an answer from you previously Madame Secretary, will you please speak to the serial abuse against women as perpetrated by your husband, Democrat Bill Clinton?

I can't say that. There have been a few honest ones we dealt with on a regular basis. They would comply with our instructions about where to set up on scenes, were understanding when we couldn't provide information about a topic, printed or broadcast only the facts and not speculation, and would get both sides of a story before running with it. They tended to be the older ones at the end of their career, however. The few younger ones who were truly honest are all no longer working as journalists and have taken public information positions for government agencies or corporations.

But the majority of the journalists I have dealt with have been scum. I'm still mad that our incident commander on a hazmat call one day forced us to stop a TV reporter and crew who flat out disobeyed our instructions about where to set up for safety and just about entered the warm zone of the spill. I wouldn't have let them get into the hot zone but by entering the warm zone we would have been forced to decontaminate them and the thought of washing them down with cold hydrant water and scrubbing them down with truck wash brushes then forcing them to go to the er while wearing nothing but a Tyvek suit while their clothes and equipment was isolated for industrial decontamination was so very tempting.

I can neither confirm nor deny that there have been times where hose streams have been purposely directed at media members who violated safety perimeters on fires, but I can say that a 150psi straight stream from an 1 3/4" hose line will mess up a field reporter's $50 haircut I can also confirm that after a particular apartment fire at the following morning shift briefings a memo was read to remind operators of aerial master streams and engine deck guns to be aware of where their streams were going after a TV crew got knocked ass over elbows by a ladder pipe stream when they violated the exclusion zone.
