How the media botched the explanation of how they botched their reporting

 Ethel C. Fenig, quoting columnist T.A. Grant (Frank?) from The New Republic:

How did many fine, otherwise fair-minded journalists allow their judgment to become so clouded?

"Whoops! The problem shows up immediately: basic premise wrong so mostly everything flowing from it will be wrong. Maybe theses journalists were fine to Grant but they were not "otherwise fair-minded" and seemed to have very little judgment. Diversity be damned, the default, normal position for journalists at most of the dominant media is liberal; anything else is considered a deviation. Babble about neutrality and objectivity and even fair-mindedness but study after study confirms this the lack of objectivity, lack of neutrality, inherent biases in all angles of reporting and the liberal/left tilt."
