  • Metaphor time: Journalists are on average biased to the left and publishers are biased to the right.  A few op-ed and editorial writers are available to fill out the right wing team but journalists much like highschool teachers and American academics come from a vaguely social democratic consensus reality.

    The journalists are like the keel and rudder of a sailboat, and the publisher is like the wind.  The journalists point left and the wind pushes them right.  Sometimes making the boat move requires tacking.

    And for those place that neither the wind blows to nor the rudder points to, like backsliding to racial immigration policies, or perhaps restraining the omnicompetence of the state, well, between the boat and that is clear blue water.
