Quote:Having to argue to get your story published is proof of editorial power in what way, specifically?


Editorial power, to me, would mean that no questions would be asked regarding what you are writing and what slant your article may or may not be leaning towards... wouldn't you agree?

 

Its proof that the editorials control what gets published, meaning the managers can set the agenda. How is that not power?

 

If a journalist wants his articles to get published, and the managers are left-leaning, he gets them passed by slanting towards the left. This also means that left-leaning journalist are more likely to find work over right-leaning journalist. Editorial managers are typically journalist. 9 out of 10 journalist are Democrats. Is this not clear?
