I think it's more complex than that. I think it's accurate that the majority of mainstream reporting writers are actually liberal (or left, but definitions get pretty sticky).
This left bias coincides with a bias towards reality. The problem is that they are trained to remove bias from their reporting, and in removing their left bias when reporting on the left, their also remove their reality bias.
My brother/sister in Christ. Read the NYT every day for a week and then tell me with a straight face they’ve removed bias from their reporting. I mean, really…
It's not about reality or not reality. No matter what you think about each individual Network they're all corporate owned. That's their bias. They don't report reality if it goes against the corporate interests either.
