Why are so many journalists liberals?
<|assistant|>
Many journalists lean to the left politically because the news media tend to attract individuals from upper-middle-class backgrounds with liberal views. This is due in part to the fact that many colleges and universities have a liberal bent and graduate students that are inclined to the left. Moreover, journalists are usually interested in social and political issues, meaning they are likely to be attracted to the positions liberal politicians take. As a result, the journalists they produce are often of the same mindset.
