The Liberal Bias and "Fake News"

I am fully aware that most (not all) media outlets are liberal. I don't really mind, but there comes a time when I will (sort of) defend conservatives.

I don't really fully agree with how the media is now. It has problems. There are TV channels that feature news that is politically liberal, but socially conservative, or vice versa. I wish that all media outlets were socially liberal, treating every race, gender, or sexuality with respect, but more politically more diverse. Liberals are all for diversity, so why can't politics go along with it? No matter how corrupt or immoral the conservatives are, they still deserve reliable sources to get their news from. Fox News really doesn't count as reliable because of all of the fake news that they spew.

I feel as though it is easier for news to come off as liberally biased because a lot of stuff going on in the world supports the liberal views. You'd have to really dig for news that would support conservatives, that's why Fox News is so unreliable. They are always speculating and talking about theories or possibilities, and rarely actual facts. My conservative mother rarely uses actual facts to support her horrific views. She's always talking about how Hillary Clinton is a satanist, how Michelle Obama's real name is Michael and how Lady Gaga is just a transvestite. But that's how most conservatives are: they think that, since the media is liberal, all the news does is spew fake news. You must realize that these major media outlets like ABC News and CNN never report fake news. It can be biased, yes, but never would such reliable news outlets report false claims. If they would, they would be embarrassed, be sued, go off the air, I don't know. The press can technically report anything they like, but it should at least be true.

That's the thing: nowadays, when conservatives hear a fact that they heard on the news, they think it's up to their own opinion to figure out whether it's true or not. If it supports what they believe in, it's "true," and if it isn't, it's "fake news." They basically live in their own reality. A reality where they're always the victims and equality is bad, and one group of people were made by God to be slaves, and women were created just to be sex machines for men. It's sick. But, it seems like with conservatives, they're more afraid of being called racist rather than actually being racist. They like to claim that liberals are the racist ones because we favor blacks over whites. We don't. We think of everyone as equals. Here is a picture that describes exactly what I'm talking about:


This is exactly what I'm talking about. It's not racist. It's just making everyone equal, and conservatives don't like equality, apparently. Sad!
