the NYT, NPR and elsewhere. The reason right wingers insist that the media is biased toward a liberal point of view is because liberals believe in well-resourced facts. In fact, liberals are biased towards news based on the facts. We don't believe in Jewish space lasers, or satanic cabals in the Democratic Party. Please don't fall for Republican propaganda about the "drive-by media" or "liberal bias in the media." That's what they want you to think because the facts work against them every time. Biden won the 2020 election in spite of Republican efforts to contest every election in red states in court - that were overturned by Republican judges and Republican election officials who just did their job. That's a fact! The news media reported that in detail. Meanwhile, the right wing disinformation factory on Fox News, talk radio and elsewhere has continually reported the opposite. Stop blaming "the media." Start blaming the right wing, the Republican Party, Republican candidates, and the "media" that they have created to spread their lies.
