More recently, the New York Times reported that only eight percent of Washington correspondents thought George W. Bush would be a better president than John Kerry.[3] This compares to 51% of all American voters. David Brooks notes that for every journalist who contributed to George W. Bush’s campaign, 93 contributed to Kerry’s.[4]


These statistics suggest that journalists, as a group, are more liberal than almost any congressional district in the country.

Why is it assumed someone is Liberal if they simply decided to stay out of the Bushes? I stayed out of the Bushes, but I wouldn't be very welcome around Liberals(especially, right now.)
