I don't know how to say it differently. How about this as a continuation.....
When the "conservative" position on abortion is "it's absolutely disgusting as a go to method of birth control" it isn't as "conservative" as "under no circumstance can an abortion happen". So when the media is reporting on abortion these days, it's on these positions that are so absurdly "conservative" because those are the positions being offered. They aren't making the position up.
I can't believe I have to break down simple English, but I'm willing if it helps get the point across. WHEN here is to read "in the instance of" or "the times where".

Here's the root of it all jon......while you have been

about AOC and stumbling over yourself trying to prove she's the end of civilization as we know it the GOP and Trump have taken the label you identify with and completely changed the meaning. How do I know this? Because I identified with it to. "Conservative" no longer means what it did even 15 years ago. There is NO room in the "conservative" movement for someone who thinks abortion is understandable when the mother's life is in danger.....just one example I can illustrate this sprint to the right phenomena in just about any topic you want to bring up. You choose.
So while I agree and have said such three times now in this thread alone that bias is throughout media, I completely disagree with the perceived reasons for the bias. It seems pretty clear and painfully obvious that, as I said above:
liberal ----------x----------conservative
has become
liberal------------x-------------------------------------conservative
Yeah....there's some lean there, but that lean is GREATLY exaggerated by people unwilling to look inward and realize what's happening with the term "conservative" and the group who identifies as such. The further right this thing goes, the more crazy even moderate positions look. That speaks to the shift, not the position remaining constant.
