Because when you TALK to people all day long about their problems, you start to realize the many many ways that society has failed. You see the human toll of every single headline. Yes, real journalists, who are not doing it for "entertainment" and have a shred of empathy might start unbiased, or in the middle, but they don't stay there.
Progress is GOOD. Being a progressive is a human value. The news covers PEOPLE and people want empathy for their challenges. That alone makes most people, who are not rich white men, lean left.

ts not about white men. its that the US government has completely abandoned service on both a federal and local level. I'm a a brown hijabi- why are the local city councils voting on BDS? they should be figuring out how to fix potholes, get our kids a better education and make palatable lunch. the fact that school lunches are so disgusting and the play grounds a disaster is more important than foreign policy, especially to the BOE. We just started a short expat stint and while there are some things that are very difficult- its easy to see that EU countries' systems function, that there is functioning local governance even if it does take some figuring out how to throw away your trash but pretty. much every municiality in the USA is a victim of poor governance. the old axiom that all politics is local has been completely destroyed, Mayor Bowser shoudl be worried about the 1/10 kids going to bed hungry in her city and leave the Sudanese to the WFO.
