The perception that most anchors and reporters in electronic media are liberal enjoys its widest acceptance among those on the political right. Even if there is some truth to it, bear in mind that the people who write these journalists’ paychecks tend to be conservative, as do most business owners – no one is likely to accuse Fox News or Rupert Murdoch of being liberal – and those who have the gold ultimately make the rules. The suggestion that liberals expressly undertake media careers to serve ideological agendas is reminiscent of conspiracy theories popular on right-wing talk radio. As someone who has worked in media for more than 40 years, I can say with a fair amount of certainty that most anchors and reporters are motivated by ego, not ideology.
