About those liberal media folks, veteran of many newsrooms commenting on the Yahoo Wash. bureau chief, former ABC political editor, saying Republicans rejoice “when black people drown”:
I could write a thousand columns on comments like these, and similar comments I heard while in newsrooms over the years. In my newsroom there were people crying out loud and tears shed when George W. Bush was elected in 2000. There were cheers when Al Gore rescinded his resignation. It is the culture. Leftists live and thrive in this environment, and they are rewarded with advancements. Rarely are they held accountable because they know management is on their side.
The perp was fired, But the culture remains:
The bias is . . . too deep, too ingrained, and they really don’t want to change. It’s like telling a rattlesnake not to bite. They will cease to exist before they correct the culture.

“The bias is . . . too deep, too ingrained, and they really don’t want to change. It’s like telling a rattlesnake not to bite. They will cease to exist before they correct the culture.”
They will cease to exist if the people who actually read (or formerly read) newspapers desert them in droves as has been happening. I won’t buy the Tribune and haven’t for years since I caught them omitting an exculpatory last paragraph of an AP story (found online) that undid the whole “Evil Bush” meme of the main story. That was the definitive proof to me of the willingness of the MSM to completely twist the news to suit their bias.
Now if I hear a MSM report, I tend to invert it like the Russians did with Pravda to guess the real story. What a sorry state of affairs we are in.
