(b) As a second point -- here we have the market at work. Doesn't this really mean that you conservatives need to get on the stick to balance those numbers out ? Stop complaining and do something (which some are)? Convince your conservative friends of the value of ideas and/or the nobility of a life spent reporting the news, monitoring the government and protecting the little guy's right to know.
Or is this imbalance impossible to resolve because your garden-variety conservative either (i) lacks the requisite literacy to work as a journalist or (ii) is too damn greedy to accept the low salaries? Just an innocent question.

Innocent my fat ass!
Look, I don’t care what all of these fancy schmancy biased polls show, I just call it as I see it and the truth is that its hard to tell who Freedom’s worse enemy is, the radical Islamofacists or the godlessly communistic morally equivocating journalists. Maybe it’s a tie.
They both decry Freedom’s promise that we as a nation should be free to think, speak, or act for yourself as long as we don't infringe on no other in the process. They substitute this god-given right with the paternalism of the Big Brother Socialistic Government Machine. Tax and spend. Tax and spend.
Forgetting about their terrorist comrades for a minute the bottom line is that modern day mass mediated journalism is just porn with people wearing clothes. This Fourth Estate is in disrepair, not informing the public but instead acting the clown for its amusement with stories about flatulent pets, freaks in trees and pie eating contests. The ignorant masses are left knowing a snippet of many things but nothing about any one of them and in turn they rattle meaningless slogans and impressionistic witticisms like they are were ivory tower intellectoids. “W is dumya”. “Where’s the beef?” “there is vast right wing conspiracy”……..etc.
Critical thinking had died and we need look no further than the leftwingers on this board for proof.
