I’m getting downvote because people think I’m bOtH sIdEsInG it all.
I’m simply noting that both sides have no common ground anymore. I left unsaid the fact that the Conservatives seem to be entirely divorced from reality, and making their own facts up.
If “mainstream media” seems “leftist”, it might be because the left is rooted in actual facts, and the right is rooted in made-up shit.

I would agree that the mainstream media has a greater tendency to adhere to the facts than the media outlets conservatives tend to favor, but I don’t think that’s the same as saying Leftist views are rooted in facts and Right-wing views are rooted in made-up shit. Don’t get me wrong, I am a liberal and I definitely think our views are more realistic than those of conservatives, but I also think (and I’m rather sick and tired of it) that liberal views of conservatives are increasingly that conservatives are just dumb, bumble-fuck hicks with no education or intellect, which is just an example of one side dehumanizing and simplifying their opposition for the sake of making themselves feel superior. This benefits no one and just fuels the partisan polarization that is destroying our society.
