I'm sure many of them do boast of being liberal. But what definition of liberal are they using? In a true sense being liberal means trying to be open-minded enough to see any situation from the point of view of others. (Not that anyone can ever do this perfectly.) Conservatives tend to think that their way of seeing things is the way the world really is, and everyone else is just wrong. I think this is why journalists tend to be liberals. And I still maintain that most of the people in "the media" are thinking first and foremost about their careers; not their political agenda.
