Whoaaa!! First of all, I don't lump "reporters" and "commentators" together under the vague label of "journalists". Reporters are supposed to report their observations untainted by their own personal opinions. Commentators are supposed to give their personal opinions, supported by facts or not.
Maureen Dowd is a commentator. I don't agree with her opinions 90% of the time, but her views aren't being presented as unbiased news. I don't claim "the media" has a left-wing bias because of Maureen Dowd, Helen Thomas, Elenor Clift, Nat Hentoff, etc.
Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter, Bill O'Reilly etc. are also commentators. I don't expect to get unbiased news from them either, just their opinions.
My complaint is with the so-called "main-stream" media, the reporters and newsroom editors who are supposed to be fair and balanced. Unfortunately, political opinions too often shape what news is reported, the frequency in which a story is reported, and HOW the story will be reported (the spin or takeaway).
I have a big problem with folks who call themselves "journalists". That term sends up a big bright signal flare whenever I hear it. Journalists like to wrap themselves in the respectability of the term "reporter" but claim they do ANALYSIS, not COMMENTARY. Call it what you will, journalists state more opinions than facts.
The left-wing has cornered the market on "journalism". Most honest journalist will admit to this, however they'll deny that their own political bias influences their stories. I find this laughable.
I whole-heartedly agree there are examples of media institutions with a staff of "journalists who lean right: Fox News, The Washington Times, etc. However, there are far more examples of those who lean left.
