It might be true that journalists tend to vote for more progressive candidates, but they are keenly aware of the loss of civil liberties that come with conservative ideologies...plus, studies show that people all across the country vote along educational lines...educated people tend to vote for progressives, and unededucated prefer to have their ideology spoon fed to them, something the conservatives excell at.

Journalists tend to have educations, too...and I think that your observation that conservatives are easy to bash is on target...just look at how they've behaved the past seven years.

Fish on...
