In the nation's 15 largest cities the newspapers that editorially endorsed Landon represented 70% of the circulation, while Roosevelt won 69% of the actual voters.
Was reading a Wikipedia article and came across this blurb
In the 1920s and 30s, media and Hollywood was actually fairly right wing
Believe it or not...so were the universities until the 50s and 60s

It was Watergate and the general SJW culture that changed everything.
Woodstein got the journalism schools overflowing with young crusaders who'd found their religion.
Add to that the Affirmative Action instituted to get women and blacks in corridors of power whether they'd earned the right to be there or not, and you have the situation we're in today.

Even back then people didn’t give a shite about what the media thought.

Until Communism infiltrated after WWII. Funny how that timeline sets up.

COMINTERN was just starting to find its legs and voice in the 1930s - they focused on France, Britain and Scandinavia first and didn't really get to the U.S. until after the war.
