Free Market Adherents in the Media

Very few reporters and editors in the general media have free market views pertaining to common questions about schools, transportation, highways, and certainly financial subjects.

Certainly not if they have been trained conventionally in journalism schools.

There, in addition to what generalities journalists are taught, they receive a modicum of economic and financial training. And little, if any, from free market economists. As examples, economists such as Friedrich Hayek, Milton Friedman, Thomas Sowell, and Walter Williams, among others.

No wonder you get left-leaning slants, even in many financial articles.
