The 'Liberal Leaning' Media Has Passed Its Tipping Point

The news media is catching up with the liberalism of the professoriate, the entertainment industry, upscale magazines and the literary world.

More important, how will a large segment of the public ever put stock in journalism it considers hostile to the country's best interests? Unfortunately, dominant media organizations have bonded with another large segment of the public-one that embraces its new approach.

On the other hand, how would the media respond to a Joe Biden victory? Will Mr. Biden be subjected to the rigor and skepticism imposed on Mr. Trump? Will he get a pass because he is a liberal and "Not Trump"? The media's protective coverage of the sexual-assault allegation against Mr. Biden is perhaps a clear and concerning preview to how his presidency would be covered.

The media seems uninterested in these issues of bias.

The news media seems very comfortable with its product and ability to sell it.

There's probably no way to seal the gap between the media and a large segment of the public.

Ultimately, the media finds the "Deplorables" deplorable.
