> because one half of our political spectrum and the other half comes out smelling like roses? Let me ask you this, as atleast you know there are 2 universes (which many do not ): - Do you sample both of the universes and make up your mind? - Do you know which direction the media thats most accessible (otherwise called as mainstream) leans politically? - Do you lean that same direction yourself? - if so, it is that side that needs to seek out the alternate universe and figure if there is any truth to it. ( theoretically, there can be right?) -- The people on the right are generally exposed to the mainstream media, and therefore, and also consume alternate media from the right, and at least, get to hear both sides. The people on the left, on average, simply do not do this

There aren't 2 universes there are n universes where n is the number of people. In most respects my politics are more progressive than the medias but I take a nuanced view and I think for myself. I HAVE sampled both sides mostly because I had an interest in watching the crazy. The far side of the fence from the "liberal media" is sadly stunted men swimming in a cloud of misinformation so thick that escape appears difficult. Explaining one wrong thing nearly always involves dealing with not only present issues but prior preconceptions. Although these men may possess in some areas of their life judgement, character, values but they are guided by not only fake information, but fake resources who will not only at need feed them more misinformation but has poisoned them against sources apt to contradict their line of bullshit.
