Liberal media is honest, trustworthy, fair, principled & reasonable, mainstream media leans right and conservative media is extremist, untrustworthy propaganda.
Untrustworthiness of Conservative Media
Conservative news sources cannot be trusted and engage in constant lies and propaganda which their audience believes because they constantly tell them over and over and over that the only actual trusted news sources -- mainstream and liberal -- are the ones that cannot be trusted. We plan to definitely show why you cannot trust conservative media sources.Liberal Media

Bias Outside Liberal Media
Conservative biases dominate all aspects of mainstream media largely because so many people take for granted or falsely accept conservative biased content as neutral. In addition, conservative media has been hugely successfully in manipulating mainstream media to benefit the right even further. They've been so good at it that many non conservatives even falsely believe that mainstream media has a liberal bias when in fact it actually strongly leans conservative. In comparison, liberal media outlets often skew center-left in their coverage whereas conservative outlets today rarely stray from extreme right-wing positions. We plan definitively show how mainstream media actually leans conservative.Liberal Media

1.
This false equivalence is common in mainstream media as they strive to present "all sides" tlo show balance on issues which works when all sides are comparable.
But with Republicans being so extreme and irrational with far many more misdeeds, mainstream media figures tend to hold Democrats to a higher standard as they
are expected to act with intregrity and Republicans these days are not.
2.
They don't do this often. But mainstream media strives for balance and so they sometimes feel -- because Republicans are so bad -- that they have to
"balance" out negative stories about Republicans with comparable ones about Democrats
3.
Republicans have inundated the media with scandal after scandal and so the
mainstream media is biased towards being overly critical when a Democratic scandal comes along out of a misguided desire to appear "balanced"
