I think you’re misunderstanding what it’s like to lean left. You used the word “exclusively”... “As a left-leaning person, it's much easier to see almost exclusively your own ideas.” I think you’re making a strange assumption here: some of my conservative ideas are almost universally rejected by the media around me, therefore many liberals must feel all of their ideas are universally accepted by the media. That’s not true though. For example some liberals feel that capitalism is immoral. That idea is almost universally rejected in the media, and by most Americans. I think your point—that some ideas which are important to you are being suppressed—is important to raise. I care about those ideas and seek them out. (Although I’m conservative in many ways) But I think you really weaken your position in the debate by tacking on strong claims about how enfranchised leftists must feel in the media. The people who feel comfortable with the media are really neither left or right. They are people who feel comfortable with the status quo, who feel most happy when everyone agrees and actively move away from discord. Non-ideologues. These people are neither left nor right.
