:#Even when conservatives ''do'' apply to journalism schools, they either don't get in or get hounded out of school, not being able to handle the overwhelming and unremitting hostility of the "learning environment" directed toward conservatives generally.--[[User:TerryH|TerryH]]<sup>[[User talk:TerryH|Talk]]</sup> 15:27, 3 July 2007 (EDT)

:Terry your attempt at wit in relation to your assertion that liberals can do no more than ‘scribble’ has been dually noted, along with your utter failure at it as you managed to leave out half of the important information from ''your'' quoted source. It is true, well at least according to your article from MSNBC.com, (though I am surprised you found it to be a trusted source as it is a part of NBC, a news medium you appeared to believe to be liberally biased) that nine out of ten news professionals ''donating'' today do indeed donate to Democratic causes. It is not, however, true that ''all'' journalists donate to political causes; in fact, according to the article ''you'' cited these donors are a “tiny fraction of the roughly 100,000 staffers in newsrooms across the nation.” (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19113485). While it is true that there are more left wing journalism majors than there are right wing the difference is not as great as you would like people to believe; in fact as of 2002 48% of journalists categorized themselves as leaning to the left and 52% of journalists categorized themselves as leaning either to the right or sitting in the middle (http://www.journalism.org/node/2304). And if Jp’s contention were true then we could reasonably assume that at least the majority of the conservative population (Fox’s core demographic) tuned in to Fox, or at the very least prefers Fox over the media sources that the two of you believe to be liberally biased, however, this is not the case either. According to a study conducted by the ad agency Carat USA “37 percent of viewers calling themselves ‘very conservative’ watch CNN in the course of a week, while only 32 percent tune to Fox .” (http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=2005). CNN’s cumulative ratings are also significantly higher than Fox’s, most notably during April 2003, “at the height of fighting in Iraq”. It was at this time that CNN ‘cumed’ 105 million viewers as opposed to Fox’s 86 million (http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=2005). It does not make sense that Fox would suddenly become a more trusted resource for news during election time than they would be on any other given day. Perhaps you see Fox as the only trusted source out there, but the majority of America respectfully disagrees. --[[User:HKK|HKK]]
