I think I can disprove your premise right here.

    Of course, as The Center for Public Integrity [1] recently pointed out, "journalists" aren't just 
    making "in-kind" contributions to the Clinton campaign, they're donating real cash as well.  
    In fact, according the their review of political contributions made by people working in 
    various media outlets, 96% were found to go to Hillary while only 4% accrued to the benefit 
    of the Trump campaign.

I'm not stipulating any of my claims on the lack of lopsidedness in the editorial positions of the journalists in question. A Really Big Number doesn't change what they care about more: being on the same team as the Democrats, or their drip-feeds from campaigns.
