the idea that the personal politics of a journalist correlates with how that journalist does his or her job is far too simplistic.
it lets you say nothing at all about the ideological biais of a particular outlet, television or otherwise.
people do have professional identities--not all of those identities correlate with how they might think when they are hanging out with friends, drinking a beer.
you would think this would be obvious--it correlates with experience, no?
i seem to remember dropping into tfp on this topic a while ago.
it keeps coming back, and nothing moves.
ah well.
