General Discussion

While EVERY SINGLE bit of information has some form of bias, the methodology which is used to obtain information is important for the process of arriving to the best possible conclusions.

Liberals have typically embraced some form of the scientific method, which is of course, not perfect but which is the best possible method of obtaining and verifying information and making sense from observations.

This is why facts tend to favor a liberal perspective. Life changes and provides us with more and more data each day. Liberals tend to accept the data and move to where valid information takes us.

Conservatives on the other hand, are tethered to an ideology, a belief in how the world works, that cannot and should not be altered.

The media has a bias toward revenue. This is how they have always operated. While reporters tend to be "open" to the facts on the ground, the system of media relies on revenue and the profit motive. Anything that would affect that system is bias against it.

Even science has been skewed by profit. Remember when doctors and health professionals were hawking cigarettes'? There are scientists who are paid to create skepticism about the effects of fossil fuels on climate change. Money and profit are very powerful forces.
