I remember a conversation I had with a broadcast news executive many years ago.
“Doesn’t the fact that 90 percent of your people are Democrats affect your work product?” I asked.
“Oh, no, no,” he said. “Our people are professional. They have standards of objectivity and professionalism, so that their own views don’t affect the news.”
“So what you’re saying,” I said, “is that your work product would be identical if 90 percent of your people were Republicans.”
He quickly replied, “No, then it would be biased.”
