From what I can tell, making shitloads of money is more ethically valued by conservatives than liberals. Journalism is a poor way to make shitloads of money.

As far as I can tell, this is affirmative action, right-wing style. Just as silly as the left-wing version. =)

I mean, did you know the vast majority of people who run the media companies are rich? Far richer on average than the general population?

This can't help but provide bias in the material they instruct journalists to cover... Same shit, different pile. The difference is, by claiming a bias in the part of the media, those who wish to push a "conservative" agenda can generate a generic broad-spectrum attack on those they can label as "liberals".
