Why should the nature of journalism lead to its being dominated by people left of center? Obviously there are conservative journalists in the US, just not at NPR in any substantial number.
Everyone who wants to ignore the problem at NPR will be happy to see Berliner a mere whiner.

There are plenty of conservative journalists in the US, but percentage-wise they are far outnumbered. Conservatives are not heavily attracted to journalism; for the most part it is not a lucrative profession.
I took journalism classes in college. There probably weren't any conservative kids in the class. They were all idealists who wanted to change the world. And this was NC State, not anyone's idea of a liberal bastion...
I watch news on a variety of networks. I don't think NPR is one iota more liberal than ABC, NBC, CBS, or CNN. And it's hard for me to believe that anyone else does. The problem is that NPR is publicly funded.
Yes, they're outnumbered, but NPR pays enough to attract them if it wants to. It hasn't prioritized diversity of that kind, even though it's probably the most important kind in bias.
And you honestly think that ABC, CBS, and NBC have prioritized it? I just don't see it. But to be 100% truthful, I'm not really looking for it. So maybe they do.
I just think NPR gets singled out because of its funding.

I don't know about other outlets. But they don't receive public funds. Yes, NPR has a special obligation against bias like this.
And NPR is the least biased new source anyone can find. Except perhaps AP.
That's highly doubtful, for reasons Berliner outlines.
That's the nice part about Steve showing how much shit Uri is full of.
Not even close, he misrepresented what Berliner said and then attacked the straw men.
Because it's about truth.
That remark shows something important about you, not anyone else. You can't see beyond your politics, mainly because you don't want to.

Evidently not one to look inward!
