"common knowledge......"

Common knowledge it might be, but there seems to be a dearth of actual facts. There is one poll that is is bandied about, but it dates back to 1980. I dunno, things might have changed in the intervening 25 years. Going to the Media Research Center, they claim
The most recent ASNE study surveyed 1,037 newspaper reporters found 61 percent identified themselves as/leaning "liberal/Democratic" compared to only 15 percent who identified themselves as/leaning "conservative/Republican."

However, the ASNE has different numbers, which sort of casts some doubt on the MRC.

                  Newsroom   Reporter  Editor   ME/AME Editor
Democrat                25 	27 	25 	20
Lean towards Democrat   28 	28 	29 	28
Independent             17 	17 	16 	23
Republican              6 	5 	8 	5
Lean towards Republican 9 	8 	9 	10
Libertarian             2 	1 	2 	3
No party affiliation    13 	14 	11 	11

So the only support for the 10-1 margin is from a study that was done 25 years ago...
