The Orwellian (or lying) Media
It's exhausting.
This is long. Let me sum up: "Media is liberal because we're all urban."
The Media Bubble Is Worse Than You Think

Let's get this bit of stupidity-or-propaganda out of the way first.
"To some conservatives, Trump’s surprise win on November 8 simply bore out what they had suspected, that the Democrat-infested press was knowingly in the tank for Clinton all along. The media, in this view, was guilty not just of confirmation bias but of complicity. But the knowing-bias charge never added up: No news organization ignored the Clinton emails story, and everybody feasted on the damaging John Podesta email cache that WikiLeaks served up buffet-style. Practically speaking, you’re not pushing Clinton to victory if you’re pantsing her and her party to voters almost daily."
Whoa, there. "no news organization ignored the Clinton emails story, and everybody feasted on the damaging John Podesta email" does not equal reality, let alone "pantsing her and her party to voters almost daily"
Lying or insane? Pantsing her and her party daily?!? Yes, it was reported. How it is reported is as much of what matters, and any claim she was "pants" is delusion.
Now on to the main Orwellian insanity. Remember, the primary argument boiled down (at least that I got from this) is that newsrooms are leftist because they are urban. Then there's this....
"It’s worth mentioning that Fox and Breitbart-and indeed most of the big conservative media players-also happen to be located in the same bubble. Like the “MSM” they rail against, they’re a product of New York, Washington and Los Angeles. It’s an argument against the bubble, being waged almost entirely by people who work inside it."
In other words, invalidating their entire argument!
You can't reason with people like this.
