Brain

There are a number of explanations given to explain the left-wing bias in news reporting but one that is normally not followed up on is the difference between what is called left brain and right brain. Left brain people are often found in careers like law, accounting, engineering, science and computer stuff. These people use linear and analytical thought. Right brain people are often found in arts, music, writing and acting. They use intuition, creativity, emotional expression and holistic thinking. Most people use both sides of their brains but tend to favor one side over the other. Many who favor left brain become builders of things while the right brain people are more into reading and writing about building things. When you are building things, you encounter barriers like government regulations and you see those as impediments to your goal. People who spend their time with intellectual endeavors, people like teachers, see government as helpful to their goals. Journalist fall into the category of thinkers as opposed to builders. If they are concerned about some real or perceived injustice, they do not build something to deal with the problem they write something. For example, if they see a need to help someone or some group, they will likely look to the government for help whereas a builder might look to create new high paying jobs so these people could help themselves. Like all generalizations these ideas are subject to more exceptions that rules.
