Yes, yes and yes: the US media IS biased toward liberalism. Now, what does that mean and why? First of all, lets look at the two major US political parties: one (the Republican Party) is clearly more anti-science than the other. Reality is clearly best evaluated by science. Reality DOES have a liberal bias. Case made. Any challengers?
To better understand what the Republicans/conservatives/Trumpsters are doing regarding their cries of "media bias", these links present some recent results from the logical fallacy called "False Equivalency:"

Human knowledge has progressed exponentially since the dawn of modern science. It is no longer reasonable to accept claims without sufficient objective evidence. The harm from religion, alternatives to medicine, conservatism, and all other false beliefs will be exposed on this blog by reporting the findings of science. This blog will also reinforce what should be the basics of education: History, Civics, Financial Literacy, Media Literacy, and Critical/Science Based Thinking.
