[Michelle20550]

I think the nature of the work leads many journalists to become more liberal over time. We are taught to try to cover news objectively, from numerous points of view, and that tends to break down the walls between ‘us’ and ‘them.’ People can be amazingly open and vulnerable in an interview, and that humanizes even those who have very different views from your own. So while I may not agree with someone’s beliefs or viewpoints, I do often come to understand why and how they came to them. I don’t have an ‘agenda,’ I just have more compassion now than when I entered the field, and I think that may make people think I’ve become more ‘liberal.’
