Good question, apeman.
My journalist friends are good people. They just happen to be a part of a liberally educated cultural elite that does not publically acknowledge itself as a cultural elite. Privately however, they make it very clear that they consider themselves to be on a different level than their readers. They tend to believe that they have a broader perspective and are more socially aware than the rest of us. They are hypocritical to the extent that they have money and some power yet wish very much to see themselves as populists and friends of the common man and champions of the downtrodden. They are essentialy globalists who believe a more highly advanced form of allegiance than simply nationalism is the correct way of thinking. They espouse objectivity yet have very strong political opinions.
