Why is the Washington media establishment predominantly Republican?

When you look at the news judgment of the media centered in Washington, D.C. it is obvious from what they consider to be important news that their judgment is essentially Republican. Josh Marshall points that out this morning.

I wonder why?

Is it just that the owners, managers, pundits, columnists and editors are all paid like Republicans want to be? Or is it that the set of Washington, D.C. news sources they have wanted inside leaks from over the last thirty years have been almost all Republican?
