I think in light of the Dominion vs. Fox News lawsuit, we really need to re-examine the "liberal media bias" narrative.
Who are the people pushing this narrative the hardest? Fox News — they devote a good chunk of their programming to this narrative every day.
But now it's been shown in court that Fox News hosts don't believe what they tell their audience. They put people on air who talk about election fraud, then secretly text each other about how that person is insane and they are telling lies. But their own concern about the trustworthiness of their own guests never makes it to their audience. This is precisely the thing they say others are doing. Given the new evidence, it seems like Fox News is mostly projecting their own deceptive practices and ascribing them to "liberal media" to shield themselves from accusations of the same.
Until the same can be shown about e.g. MSNBC or CNN, we must consider Fox News (which is the center of gravity of the conservative media ecosystem, and the most watched news channel in absolute terms) to be singularly deceptive.
