" * 90 percent favored abortion.
* 80 percent supported affirmative action.
* 81 percent voted Democratic in every election from 1964-72.
* Most blamed the U.S. for Third World poverty.

An excerpt from that study says journalists emerge "as strong supporters of environmental protection, affirmative action, women's rights, homosexual rights, and sexual freedom in general. "

=======================

Well, that scientific study is over 20 years old; however, it may prove my point. Apparently, what was considered liberal over 20 years ago is now mainstream. So those same journalists would no longer be considered liberal but rather mainstream.

The poll doesn't reflect the thought that the press is aligned with the mainstream. The support for legalized abortion is a majority but is no where close to 90%. A lot less then 80% in fact probably only a decent sized minority support affirmative action. The Democrats have not had 81% of the vote in any major national election. The majority of Americans do not blame the US for third world poverty.
