Just a matter of obvious deduction here for the answer.

Pretty pathetic for our country too with the shortage of conservative friendly media outlets...hope it changes with time.

I voted but the real reason is CONSERVATIVES ARE NOT GOSSIPS LOOKING TO MANIPULATE PEOPLE.

Ask a liberal why they are reporters and it is to "change the situation" or "tell a story". That translates into inflicting your will on another through manipulation and being a gossip.

Conservates do not have the soul or conscience to use deception to form people and are taught early in Christian ideals not to gossip.

This is one reason liberals despise Christianity as it tells them daily they are sinners.

 Conservatives are in journalism largely for the need to "control".

similar to why liberals are large in education and government jobs.

They need to control the information or system. I don't think conservatives need this.

"everymorning and everyday, I bossa nova with you"

Choices 4 and 6 are basically equivalent. 

If you're a conservative, and you can stomach the Liberal claptrap you get at college, and can stay under the radar, you might...might...get a job, but your work will be edited out. 

If you cover a story on, say, the number of abortion deaths, or on environmentalism's contribution to the wildfires, etc., you will be boxed out. 

If you get marked as a non-conformist to the Liberal PC view, you'll be black-balled.

The same goes for all media, or all information conduits.  The Liberal gatekeepers are on 24 hour guard against the infiltration of conservative thought.

If they can somehow figure a way to control the internet and talk radio, they will - and they have been trying.

You tell us.  You're the journalist here.  Have any of you tried to get a job in the drive by media or have you worked in the drive by media?  If so, what have been your experiences there?

Let's go with a NewsBusted response. Why aren't more conservatives interested in straight journalism?

1. I am interested in only straight journalism. I told you I reached down to remove the NYT from my shoe, not to solicit a copy of the Village Voice from the guy in the stall next to me.

2. Too nauseous from working with people who smell like patchouli all the time.

3. Our hard-hitting stories keep getting turned into Jumbles.

4. Tired of editors assigning us to cover Gay Olympics, then snickering at us.

5. Harmful radiation caused by global warming has weakened my resolve.

6. "Straight" journalism? I tell ya', liberals will do anything to make an issue about sex, won't they?

liberal discrimination in the newsrooms most definately exists and you may get away with just being clean cut and non confrontational but you will never grow, if you jump on the bandwagon and really ride it hard you can get far, but you stand out and oppose, you'll be marked and hacked up. the only person i know who can get away with it is john stossel, but i think he learned how to play the liberals game and is willing to use it against them, something most conservatives don't do....play dirty. you know he walks around with a target on his back everywhere he goes.

Journalist today do not report the News. They make it up. Sure they may report the "event' but rarely do they do any background work on their own or they make it up as they go along to fit their particular agenda. All one has to do is look at the Fires in California. The spin machines have been steadily working to make this another black eye for the Bush Administration but got short circuited early on. Several politicians made up some facts and had them shoved back down their throats (i.e. not enough National Guard troops to fight the fires because they were all over in Iraq). We all know there are fires raging in California but depending on which source you listen to, the cause, the effects will be slanted by the political bent of the reporting organization. I wonder if they took a poll how favorable the media would fare. The media likes to take favorability polls on the Pres. and Congress. How would they fare?

I would have added another option:

Conservatives simply choose other career paths (ie. Engineering)
