Reality has liberal bias

I hear it said frequently lately that political rancor and divisiveness are uncommonly extreme. The constant noise that is Fox News and conservative radio blowhards are the only cause I can think of. According to them, the “lamestream” left-wing biased media has been unfettered for so long until they presented the other side. I sincerely doubt there would be a tea party were it not for them.

How is it that Republicans/conservatives got elected in the past when all that was out there for the electorate to hear was viewpoints from the left in the media? If Americans have unprecedented fears for our great country, we can thank the “fair and balanced” for stirring the excrement.

Regardless of political victories, Republicans will always play the victim’s role because reality has a left-wing bias.
