News Flash: Bias in Media Isn’t New, Veteran Journalist Says
John Miller entered the field of journalism in Washington, D.C., in the early 1990s. There were only a handful of outlets with conservative commentary writers on their staffs at the time, and, even then, Miller says, he remembers being frustrated by the liberal bias in the media.
“This notion that, you know, a generation ago we used to have objective reporters at The New York Times is nonsense,” says Miller, executive director of The College Fix. “I mean, they were doing the same thing back then, also pretending they were something they were not. They were putting their finger on the scale constantly when they were covering elections, and candidates, and debates, and Congress, and so forth.”
Today, Miller argues that conservatives have “a louder voice today than they’ve ever had before in the media.” But the challenge now, according to Miller, “is populating this media with good writers, with good talkers, people who can make podcasts and so on. And lots of folks are doing it, obviously, but we need more people coming in, and more talented people coming in.”
In addition to leading The College Fix, Miller also serves as director of the journalism program at Hillsdale College, where he daily takes part in training young conservative journalists. He is a board member of The Daily Signal.
Miller joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss what has, and hasn’t, changed in the field of journalism, and how he is actively working to train young conservative journalists.
