Thank you for your honest answer.I’d be lying if I said I didn’t carry my own set of personal biases, but I think I’m pretty aware of what those are, and I try to make a concerted effort to expose myself to both sides of the political spectrum. I digest a lot of news and I’d say 60% of it is Conservative and 40% Liberal. I like Tucker and Cuomo. Can’t stand Hannity and Lemon. I like Laura Ingram and Rachel Maddow’s intelligence but their delivery and voices just rub me the wrong way. I read Drudge, CNN and Fox, and I tape all 3 networks’ Sunday morning news shows. I do think that Liberals have a bigger blind spot than Conservatives do. Conservatives pick up Liberal views and news stories just through osmosis because the msm is so overwhelmingly Liberal. Liberals on the other hand have to go out of their way to see the Conservative viewpoint, and for whatever reason a lot of them don’t seem to want to do it. There are many people here who literally won’t even open a link to a Conservative site.
I’m not sure I agree with all that, but I will say we’re in the ballpark together. Where we mostly diverge is in the bolded. I think the knife cuts both ways pretty equally on that. Largely because I believe it’s human nature driving the blind spots not a persons political leanings. But I’m pretty center politically so of course I’d feel that way, guess it’s my own biases shining through.
