Who Cares What Percertage Of Journalists Are Republicans?

Or Democrats, for that matter.  This writer does.  But it shouldn't matter, and it wouldn't matter, if journalism just got back to what it was supposed to be (and actually was) for a long time:  an unbiased search for the facts.  We've descended into an anti-intellectual vortex because it's easier to believe in lies than it is to thin about the truth. 

If we can climb out, and go back to reporting the truth without fear or favor, it will do much more for this country than any attempt to "balance" the press with an even number of Republicans and Democrats.  That effort, to the extent that it exists, is just an extension of the view that politics is just a partisan ball game.  It's not.  It's working for the people and getting business done on their behalf.  Both reporters and elected officials need to stop worrying about who's up and who's down and get back to working they way they used to, before movement conservatism and money destroyed both professions.
