I do have a preference for facts but what I do not have a preference for is a Fourth Estate that has been infiltrated and manipulated to support an elite cadre intent on pushing a certain agenda.
I sincerely don't understand the claims that the coverage was biased against Trump. If anything, it seemed to me that they were personally against him but in response to that they overcompensated and skewed the coverage too far in his direction.
The media bent themselves into some really odd shapes to make Trump's continuous string of gaffes appear somehow "normal".
There's an undeniable indicator of an unsound mind right there. The correlation in policy goals between Sanders and Clinton was probably about 0.8, but you went with the guy at 0.1.
The only noticeable commonality between Sanders and Trump is that they're both white males, which I suspect is a significant reason for your absurd trajectory of political preference (whether you'll admit that to yourself or not).
However, ignorance is not to be embraced. Fact checking is not a liberal agenda. It is a general path to improvement.
Probably stems from the implicit assumption that since academia leans left, that these progressives will have the needed scientific support for their policy proposals.
Your generalizations are laughable and are only indicative of the toxic thinking that has characterized this election.
