Looks like Michael Barone predicted the CNN dilemma of Liberal news, fewer views: Michael Barone, writing in The American Enterprise stated: "Mainline journalism is by no means reliably pro-Democratic, as Clinton White House staffers will attest, but it is reliably anti-Republican. The Center for Media and Public Affairs documented that in the fall 1994 campaigns the three major networks gave Newt Gingrich 100 percent negative coverage. If journalism's reputation for liberalism, combined with the industry's drive for "multicultural" hiring, keeps driving away conservatives and attracting liberals, there will soon be problems. Problems with the quality and accuracy of news coverage, and problems with audience rebellion. I will not be surprised if in perhaps a dozen years the owners of our mass media may finally have to take on the newsroom cultures to prevent the destruction of otherwise exceedingly valuable financial assets. That would mean installing tough, objective-minded editors. . . . And it would mean taking affirmative actions to hire Republicans, conservative Christians, and others now vastly under-represented in newsrooms." Very Prophetic indeed... Message 16176532 * * *
