Yeah, of course there is. But it's tough enough for an individual to recognize his own biases and try to rise above them. When newsrooms are overwhelmingly populated by people of a liberal disposition it becomes nearly impossible for them to recognize their biases because they exist in a culture of pervasive liberalism. When everyone else they know is also liberal it's not "liberal" for them, it's just "normal". No one would argue that media doesn't need diversity in race and gender to provide better coverage of stories where those things are a factor, so why shouldn't newsrooms be more ideologically diverse as well?
