John Leo on MSM's Diversity Problem

This column by John Leo is a must read. I want to highlight one paragraph:

I once complained to an important news executive that he ignored certain kinds of stories. He said that he would like to do them but that his staff wouldn’t let him. He admitted his staff had been assembled from one side—guess which?—of the political spectrum. This conversation hardened my conviction that the biggest flaw in mainstream journalism today is the lack of diversity.

This is all the proof we'll ever need that the MSM is biased (partisan actually) and knows it. They know that the charge of bias is made constantly. They know that their staff's are overwhelmingly liberal. And they admit that the liberal make-up of the staff affects their reporting.

If they weren't partisan, they would make it a top priority to hire some conservative reporters, editors and columnists to insure ideological diversity. That they don't proves that they WANT to produce the biased stuff that they do. And that is more proof of partisanship.
