You may have noticed a Liberal Bias in our news media. I think I can explain the reason for this. I think that only those that grow up in an urban environment would aspire to be a reporter especially those that grew up 20 of more years ago like most of the media people we have now did. Twenty years ago in small towns were everyone knew every one in town rumor would have provided all the news you needed about your neighbors and what was going on in your community. Only in urban areas were it wasn't practical to know everyone in your community did the news media become more valuable to know what was going on in your community an thus aspire young people in the urban areas to fill that valuable position. The people in rural areas wouldn't see the position to be as valuable and thus not aspire for that profession.
Combine this with the Idea established in my first post "Why we are Conservative or Liberal" this explains why most reporters are liberal.
