The Media’s Distaste of Free Market Principles

Few general media reporters, columnists and editors have free market views and 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, Thomas Sowell, Walter E. Williams, among others.

Thus you get left-leaning slants in many financial articles. (See the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments and @BusinessNewshole at Twitter.)
