Also, while most conservative have a "Live and let live" philosophy, liberals are very aggressive in having their agendas implemented.  Their philsophy is "Live and let live" as long as it's their way. 

  Again, socialism. 
Picture a jungle where the lions and tigers are liberals, and the antelope are conservatives.  In the jungle the antelope kick their legs as they run.   In our jungle, the antelopes (conservatives) just sit their (watching Oprah) waiting to get picked off.  That's the law of the liberal vs. conservative jungle.  And I don't see it changing in the near future.

conservatives are too busy making things happen while liberals aren't, add that to a distinct discrimination that i can attest to first hand when i personally worked in the news media arena. but ultimately i think the root of the liberal dominated media is one of the steps in the communist manifesto, that i do own a copy of, just like a progressive tax system, government managed schools, and an attack on idividual rights are all steps. control the propganda machine and pump people with crap, breed them on the 5 second soundbite, teach them to never question the authenticity or think through a situation and you have a ripe petri dish of liberal voters/socialist voters.

The other reason is liberals tend to be elitists...who like to tell people in a 5th grade level of reading what they should think and what is important. They like the power.

All one need do is read this blog once a week and you get the picture that there is very little tolerance for anyone with a political leaning of Republican, let alone conservative.  Which newspapers can you site that have a fairly balanced staff?  How about the airwaves?

Conservatives have the talk radio stations... 

Liberals consider themselves the social conscience of society, and what better way to disseminate their ideas and theories than through the media.

The liberals of today are the remnants of the Woodstock peace, love, and dope generation who are now embedded as editors in most of the media outlets as daily they tell us what is wrong with our society.

But, their Age Of Aquarius is fast coming to a close as their media outlets are finding less and less people willing to listen to them as they push their liberal agendas and rewrite history to suit those agendas.

Liberals in the media, to no ones chagrin, have become the object of their own destruction.

Why Is Big Media Dominated by Liberals? The reason is simple, but multi-faceted.

1. Universities that offer degrees are dominated by liberal professors with an agenda to turn impressionable students into liberals.
2. The major (old) media outlets are located in major metro areas that are heavily populated by liberals. (i.e. LA, San Francisco, New York, Chicago, DC, etc. These big cities generally operate by taking advantage of their only real natural resource, gullible people and their money. Those who are willing to take advantage of those gullible people tend to gravitate toward these big cities and learn the art of bilking (or extorting) people out of money (people from both inside and outside the city) Since these cities are mainly populated and run by liberals, they have no moral compass and easily became corrupt. When they get elected to local government they look the other way or take advantage of that corruption and allow it to continue, but this would not last long if the local media were doing their job, consequently corrupt liberals HAVE to gain control of local media and prevent them from reporting on corruption because the money gained from corruption is their life blood. This is why liberal media owners don't care if they lose money running their local paper or TV station, the payoff comes in the form of continued ability to operate corrupt business and local government.
3. The big media outlets (and the many smaller satellite media outlets that they own) are only interested in hiring journalists who agree with their liberal philosophies (see no. 2 above for the reason why), hence conservative journalists have a hard time finding and then keeping jobs in these cities.
4. Liberal journalists are unashamed of their biased reporting because they actually believe that they are normal and that most people in this country are just like them because in the city they are constanly surrounded by liberals and they don't socialize outside of the city with people who think differently. When they do travel, they mainly jet to other liberal cities and are still surrounded. Of course, they have heard, of late, that people outside the city (i.e. in "flyover county") are not liberal, but they assume that not many people live out there and those that do must be either uneducated, crazy, brainwashed by religion, or are employed by energy or agriculture companies and therefore they discount them as irrelevant and "out of the mainstream".

When the internet hit, all of a sudden, all of the conservative rural and suburban people discovered that they were not alone and began networking with each other just like liberal people do in the city. The effect of this came as a shock to those liberal city people because all of a sudden they were outnumbered by the sheer volume of rural and suburban people when they got together on an issue and reported it in the new media (i.e. radio and the internet) The old media responded by circling the wagons and trying to ignore what was going on outside, but because the cat is now out of the bag, the old liberal media lies and propaganda no longer work, their old customer base is drying up before their very eyes, but they continue to operate as if nothing has happened and probably will continue to be in denial until they either get bought out, or are forced to close their doors.

Now that some of their kin have been forced to downsize or close, the old liberal media have a new response, not to change, but to lash out at the new media, first they tried to say that the new media reporters were not "real" journalists, but when that didn't work, they tried to attack the bigger conservative journalists in an attempt to discredit them, when that didn't work, they tried to compete with them directly in their own markets, when that didn't work either they came up with their latest tactic, trying to resurrect their long dead best friend, the "fairness" doctrine. That will fail too.

What will they come up with next? They will try to throw the upcoming election and then get the government to fund them with taxpayer money. Suprise, surprise.

Liberal Arts Majors all want to "change the world" i.e convince everyone how smart they are and should let them do the thinking for them. Yet they produce nothing of value.  Whereas business and science majors want to "better the world" by making money and or inventing something to make life better or easier.

Sadly, in a nutshell, they appeal to the lowest common denominator of humanities interests, i.e.; scandal, outrage, sex, tragedy, etc.  Despite our best intentions of going about our normal lives on a daily basis we are all guilty of tuning in when someone asks "did you hear about...".  We all fall prey to it.

Besides, it's the ONLY way that someone with a view that's outside of NORMALCY can get their voice heard.  They are typically the nerds and social rejects that we grew up with that we wouldn't give the time of day to.  They begin to write their stories which reflect the opinions that they could never espouse to your face when they were growing up.  And that, BTW, is the bottom line - they've never grown up.

Good Orderly Direction

While most people have a desire to "change the world" - most of us
do it in our daily lives in how we act and what we do - small acts of
love and charity that affect particular individuals' lives. This
includes parenting, setting a good moral example, etc.

A liberal entering the 'news media' has a mission - a mission to change the
world. This mission translates into an agenda that colors his work.
This permits the liberal to act hypocritically so long as he molds the
news of the world to fit the template.

I voted "other," because liberalism generates news and contraversy. No one wants to hear about some White guy who goes out and busts his butt making a living to support his wife and two kids, who all live in suburbia. No one wants to report on stories of people like this, who are active with their churches and schools. People who have American values and morals. Stuff like this is boring! Not sexy enough for print or air time. Journalists want to report on the oppressed black man who commits crimes because of the socio-economic conditions of his community. So people who don't buy this crap feel guilty. They want to report on the leftist American radical who has nothing better to do but scream at the top of their lungs over some stupid issue like global warming. That's where the action is!

Journalists are liberal for a number of reasons but the key one, in the estimation of this former journalist, is that journalism schools are in universities, those hot beds of objective learning.

I do agree with a lot of the posts on here that say it is because of
college, but I voted other for another reason entirely. I think the press is
mainly liberal because of money. The press (MSM at any rate), generally make a
pretty good living, I would place most of them above middle class and some well
into upper class (TV news figures).

Now to my point, what is the Democratic major rally cry? I realize that it is
different every election and you never know what crisis they are going to make
up each go around, but there is one thing they always go for. "Less taxes for
the poor, more taxes for the rich. We're for the little guy and are out to get
the big money grubbing capitalists."

So, now that we know this, lets take a look at the democratic supporters.
The people with the money. That's right, the dominantly rich in this country
are the ones supporting the Democratic party. Folks like George Sorros. If you
look at the upper class in this country I bet you would find that a very high
percentage of them vote Democrat.

Anyway, what I am saying is that most of the upper
crust of the MSM have money and they want to keep it. Hence they will vote
Democrat. And will do anything in their power to persuade others to as
well.

It's part of the liberal mission - to "change" things.

Some go into politics and government. Some go into teaching. Some go into journalism. It's all part and parcel of an activist philosophy.

My problem with that is I don't think teaching and journalism should be used to change things. They should both be agenda-less. That's why I'd prefer they stick to "reporting" - it's that "journalism" thing that leads to bias and advocacy reporting.

The dogs bark, but the caravan moves on.

Because it's EASY.

Heavy indoctrination from far left college professors, especially in the humanities.

Liberals dont like the way others live their life....and they feel it is their position to fix this.....and  newspapers are just a  tool to get their version of the way things ought to be out there.

I think many in the media start out much more conservative or at least middle of the road, but as they become wealthier and hob knob with celebrities their world view gets clouded and they forget what it's like to be a regular person.
