"Like a lot of mainstream media, it's because of a lack of viewpoint diversity."

Much like Hollywood, the on-air talent is uniformly to the left, but the behind the cameras crew are not. No wonder in 2000, Leonardo DiCaprio could seamlessly switch over from acting to interviewing “Bill Clinton about the environment for Earth Day. The staff, including Sam Donaldson, and outside critics erupted in a barrage of outrage. How dare ABC suggest that a dim-bulb movie star can do the same job as a seasoned journalist? The defensiveness was telling. Because the truth is that most news readers are little more than actors. That’s one reason so many attractive young women want to be an actress/model/news anchor when they grow up.”

While Leslie Stahl couldn’t name any conservatives at CBS 23 years ago when asked by Cal Thomas on a Fox News show, thanks to radical right wing zealot Bari Weiss, Stahl can now actually name, err, two: 

● Lefties Freak Out Over ‘Right-Wing Religious Zealot’ Ross Douthat Joining 60 Minutes.

● “[I]n recent years, as a columnist for The [London] Times and on Sky News, [Trevor] Phillips has moved further towards a small-c conservative liberalism, with tough love for some long-standing fixations of the Left.”
