I heard it stated, the Right Wing Media will be protecting the nation from 'Liberal Bias.'

The cartoon illustrates 'pre-programmed mind speak' to any issue.  It demonstrates the inability of sincere bias to examine the facts so much as stereotype the response by the electorate instilled by extremist media.

When I heard the statement of "...protecting the nation from liberal bias.' 

Well. 

I didn't want to be biased so I gave it some thought.  I pride myself on being open minded and not ideological.  One that examines the facts rather than makes them up.

So, I thought, what indeed is "Liberal Bias."

Well it is guaranteeing Civil Rights for all Americans.  It is separation of Church and State as guaranteed under the USA Constitution.  It is believing in sound science when it comes to understanding the deadly dynamics of the Climate Crisis.  It is believing in the 'individual citizen' as one capable of conducting their lives so they have the best manageable financial outcomes while abiding by their OWN 'moral compass' and not that of the 'sexual preferences moral compass' of the politically biased.

The more I reflected on what exacty "Liberal Bias" is; the more I realized how a favorite saying actually rounds out the IMPOSSIBILITY of liberal bias actually existing.

"Trying to talk to Liberals, is like herding cats."

Hm.

So, when it comes to 'liberal bias' damaging the nation?  If it doesn't exist except in the minds of propagandists, then I guess it is benignly impacting the nation.

I looked it up to find out exactly how conservatives define it.  They talk in circles about it.

According to "Conservapedia" (click title to entry - thank you) the definition 'victimizes' those that educate the nation:

Liberal bias is partisan selection or distortion of information to support liberal policies. This bias can be expressed by professors and public school teachers, College Board exams, reporters and other journalists in mainstream media, and any other information source. Typically purveyors of liberal bias falsely present themselves as being objective. Liberal bias includes techniques such as distorted selection of information, placement bias, photo bias and liberal style. There is a difference between being liberal, having a liberal perspective, and having a liberal bias....

Right.  I believe the conservatives actually have a problem understanding people that 'think' rather than 'react.'
