"I'm interested in writing as a career, but not in journalism because I'm not a liberal."

I love these asshats who try to claim everything involved in the media is run by the liberals and that they are fighting the minority fight trying to get their word out.

Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingram, The Drudge report, Fox News, etc etc etc ... the list goes on.

Sheesh.

From someone who works in the Media, they have a point. A very big point. Its not calculated to be so, but it tends up being so on a greater or lesser degree.

Heh.

I'm not interested in journalism because any career that requires me to write about crap I know nothing about AND encourages me to not write what people who know about it say is a waste of good time and paper.

However, I have to admit I would have thought that would suit liberals just fine. They seem to have a knack in this country for saying one thing and depending on the other... Like "Let's vote no to nuclear power honey. We'll drive our California plated hybrid over to the polls right after I unplug it."

I was talking to somebody this weekend who works as a reporter. She said, "If there is a liberal bias in the media, it's probably because reporters tend to be better informed about current events than the average person."

Those people aren't journalists, they work more in fiction.
