General Discussion

She appears to speak of the news, not opinion, staff. With people like Maggie Haberman, it is very hard to think that they are all liberal. At any rate, their goal is likely to report accurately on news stories. Here, we as liberals, have often thought they characterized things as often from the right, than the left when they deviated from neutral.

Two examples. The huge abundance of "Biden is old" news articles compared to few (if any) "Trump is losing it" articles, when on at least a weekly basis there are a wealth of examples - something that was not obvious for the Biden stories until the unfortunate debate. Many of the final Charlie Kirk stories repeated Republicans characterizing the murderer as having accepted leftish ideology without any pushback when more accurately it seems he broke with the very MAGA, gun culture of his family on LGBTQ and possibly just that. In contrast, while they reported the Trump support of the man who attacked a Mormon church, killing people and destroying it, they did not challenge that the motivation was not political.

What it could be is that she attributed her lack of friendship with her peers as their dislike of her politics. It might just have been her personality. With the woke comment, I, maybe wrongly, get the impression that she wanted to stand out as different than her peers, who she is characterizing as biased unlike herself.
