Of course he is just a secret double agent of conservatism
Among correspondents, yes, that's very likely. But correspondents are only that, correspondents.

And when I refer to 'media' I am not referring only to news organizations.

Of course, I said I am no conspiracist, but I do believe the 'liberal media conspiracy' is a myth that has colored the impressions of at least a couple of generations who believe that they were indeed persuaded by the media to be 'liberal' and as a result became more conservative.

If you can have your 'liberal media conspiracy,' certainly you can grant me that possibility.

Also, the tone of my post, especially the 'double secret' part was tinged with tongue-in-cheekiness.
