A big part of the problem with the press is WHO goes into journalism.

Mostly you get people who 'want to make a difference' or 'change the world' types (who have no freeking clue about the world to start with). These people of course don't DO anything, they don't create anything, don't produce, but they want to be the critic, They want things to be BETTER damn it, it shouldn't BE this way. So these bleeding hearts go into journalism.

They don't NEED a left-wing conspiracy because they ARE left wing. Something like 80% of the press core voted for Gore in 2000, and its been that way for as long as I can remember. When Fox news came on and DARED to present both sides of an issue, or GASP have someone who said they were conservative as an anchor they of course were horrified, but the real horror to them is they got found out. I personally always felt the press with left biased (as does most of American, including democrats), but I didn't know how BAD it was until the 2000 election. At that point, in the confusion with the lack of scripts and teleprompters for each story as it developed it REALLY came out. Even how they reported the split Florida supreme court vs. the split US supreme court (One was a decision, the other was a close split decision, even though both were equally split), showed that they had an agenda. What was even better is they started to ADMIT it after the fact with a little soul searching.

The same idea applies to actors. Who are these people? They are 'artists' pretending to be someone else, and they tend to be rather narcissistic. They don't 'do' things, they play pretend very well. This is not the kind of thing a conservative goes into as a rule. Also the odds of 'making it' in acting are very small, and a conservative isn't the type who would risk everything on such bad odds. I love doing comedy, I've been told many times I should have gone into acting or the like, but when I was in school the choice of probable poverty vs. a medical education was a no brainier. So you basically the people who go into acting tend to be on the left, and feel they are more important then they are, (not saying everyone on the left would take the poor odds or are narcissists) and being on the left they are not very tolerant of those on the right, so if you ARE a conservative actor you better keep your mouth shut.

So yes you will see left slanted news.

And yes you will see left slanted TV, West wing (leftwing) being one of the better examples.

And no there isn't much you can do about it, though the news at least has hope now.
