Two theories from me on this. One: I would guess that its because all journalists are educated by journalism professors many of whom grew out the anti-war movement of the sixties. Two: liberals are generally more academically oriented than conservatives so while conservatives get their degree and move on, more liberals tend to stay in academia to develop and communicate their ideas and to form a bastion against the conservative agenda. Tenure is granted to like-minded liberals.
Before anybody decides to debate the point that colleges and universities are almost 90 liberal or democratic, the Washington Post removed all doubt about that with an intensive study of the higher education system across the country and proclaimed liberal domination of the system to be a verified fact. I don't have a link but I'm sure its googleable.
