news). The president, more than most, is in a position to do it. Rappahannock News: How do you explain the so-called liberal bias of the Press? Is there really a bias and, if so, does it follow naturally from the Press’ role as a check on government? Brinkley: I think the so-called liberal bias is overstated, though I don’t deny it exists to some extent in some places. There are other places where there is a conservative bfhs—you never hear about that.
To the extent there is a liberal bias - and as I say there is some though I think it’s grossly overstated - it is not so much that newspaper people are liberals as it is that liberals become newspaper people. Generally speaking, people who go into journalism are those who do not find business attractive, who feel they don’t want to spend their lives just making money. And so the work open to them is either the academic community or journalism. So you find some degree of liberal bias in both of them; I would say more so in the academic world, because they (academics) never are exposed to the gritty details of daily life as journalists are. Rappahannock News: Is the Press veering rightward? Brinkley: I think so,'yes. Rappahannock News: Is that caused by Reaganism and/or the conservative mood among the American people? Brinkley: I think it reflects a change in the public attitude. There is a rightward movement to some extent.
