Ok, I'll bite on this topic...
Conservative might not be the word to describe you, Tim. Yes, there is a fine line to cross but to fear what a future employee might think regarding your thoughts on the national media...why even stress over it? Are we not allowed to express our thoughts just because we are journalists? We should have even more of the right to do so, and so what if you have a blog on the internet, or pictures of you posing as a Calvin Klein model. If a job is not going to hire you because they googled your name and found a blog of yours, then you probably don't want to be working for them in the first place.

I'm sorry, but it's silly of us to act like factors like that don't matter, and yeah I'll say it, all of us have to work that much harder because we are minorities, so if you're neck and neck with some white contemporary or if I'm neck and neck with some male, and we're both equally qualified, and my future employer finds pictures of me dancing on stage at some club (even if I'm just dancing and that's all) or posting my personal views on certain topics on a blog, tell me who you think will get the j-o-b???...All I'm saying is that we need to be mindful of what we do and what we say...not fearful, just mindful...it's a game that you have to play...
