Granted many worthy news sources can be guilty of jumping the gun and reporting before sources have been fact checked or have relied on a single source instead of at least two, the standard in reporting. In light of reporting errors, none come fractionally close to the liberal owned media.
Another divide in communication breakdown on OPP, after a few years on this forum, I have posted Empirical Evidence, Facts, documentation dozens of times and not once, zero, zilch, never has a liberal acknowledged and yet multiple times I have witnessed conservatives conceding when a liberal has posted facts. In most every case after dozens of threads I have found and posted empirical evidence, facts or documentation at which point the liberal vanished from the post, only to be found later on another post bashing conservatives with the very same lies that have been proven false with empirical evidence, facts or documentation.
I find with extreme exceptions liberals to not only be liars, but deceptive, dishonest 10-1 over conservatives.
Anyone else experience the same?
It's not only the f**e news, it's the f**e party as a whole, as a group.

I can't argue this point. I certainly don't know what the ratio is, but I do believe liberalism is based more on emotion than fact. If it feels right, then it's right - facts be damned.
One quick example of this might be the argument for or against a living wage ... or universal income ... or wh**ever it is they're calling it these days. All facts and previous attempts prove that minimum wage laws do not work but do in fact more harm than good. But facts don't really matter to the liberal/socialist. Raising the minimum wage to $15 just feels right. And anyone who FEEL differently MUST be a white, rich, greedy, capitalist. That's what they're told so that's what they believe. Because it's true? No. Because it feels right. Showering liberals with a mountain of empirical data isn't going to change their opinion because that opinion was not based on fact - it is based on what they perceive to right or good or just. Their thought process is two-dimensional really. Guns k**l children therefore we must eliminate guns. It just feels right.
I'm not slamming liberals really, it's just how I see them. I think conservatives, as a rule, could be a bit more empathetic. I know I could be. I think we'd be able to bridge this divide much better if both sides were a bit more balanced ... if conservatives were a bit more compassionate and liberals a bit more pragmatic.
