Notice cons always leave out the full blown Republican propaganda outlet Fox News.
The big lie that the 'media' is biased has been a con-media talking point for the last 25 years. It's sole function is, along with various other mechanisms, to portray all things in the culture as 'us vs them' to conservatives. Thus when any election comes up they can do what they always do, 'you are either with us or against us'. Conservative media doesn't present truth. The first couple years of Fox News they were sued by a reporter who was told to lie about his research on air, which he wouldn't do, so they fired him. He sued and Fox argued in court that a 'news' outlet isn't required to tell the truth. That was their argument. And they won. THAT is who Fox News is. From the start their whole purpose has been to tell the big lie and the rest of conservative media echos it back the next day so that conservatives that aren't sophisticated hear this and think it absolute truth.
It is industrial level lying and portraying lies as truth.
You can see the results on this board and every other message board, an entire cohort of people that self describe as conservative who outright ignore facts even when they are confirmed absolutely.
