Few general media reporters, columnists and editors have free market views and, certainly, a background on financial subjects. In addition to what generalities journalists are ever taught, they receive a modicum of economic and financial training in school.
Not theory from economists such as Friedrich Hayek, Milton Friedman, and present-day commentators such as Thomas Sowell, Walter E. Williams, among others.
Thus you get common left-leaning slants in many financial articles. (See the Earl J Weinreb NewsHole® comments and @BusinessNewshole tweets.)
