Ever wonder why most journos were left leaning?
a friend of mine recently asked a similar question. he asked why i thought most professors were liberal leaning. he is a very good friend of mine so we give each other quite a bit of shit... my answer to him was that 90% of professors have spent their whole lives in academia talking about ideas and theories. "liberal" ideas are much more palatable and just feel right.

he asked me about the other 10%. i explained that those are the professors who did something in the real world before they entered academia. they understand the difference between "theory" and "reality".
