You know a large portion of the country would say the very things about you and liberals.
You are way too smart to actually put forward a completely false equivalence. Of course a huge swath of FOX listeners will say that is all the same--precisely because they are repeating and not discerning the difference between journalism and propaganda, between facts and misinformation. It's as circular as using the Bible to prove Creation.
Every person and every organization has bias--but it is unreasonable to attribute the so-called liberal bias to an "agenda" and not recognize that the majority of credible journalists come to their progressive disposition through education and from years of experience and examining facts. Not as a careerist move.
Yes, of course, Liberal media and people have narratives they tell themselves and that can cross into belief, but that is in no way the same thing as an organized effort to suppress or manipulate truth/facts in order to rile emotion and drive people to certain ways of false thinking. That is propaganda.
Does MSNBC lean left? Of course. Does it try and have high ratings and so sensationalize their reporting and lace it with opinion their listeners are seeking? Yes. But is IS NOT the left equivalence of FOX. No honest assessment can put that forward in today's climate of selling Trump lies and providing him legal cover. There is a huge difference in cheerleading and active participation in crime. This goes way beyond ideology to stab at the heart of the American system, reality, and the Constitution itself.
If you believe the propaganda (FOX, InfoWars, BreitBart, Blaze, Drudge, etc), it is by in large not owing to objective study of fact. And you will see the "mainstream media" as far left and of having the same oppositional agenda you yourself have. Neither is true. The media like Democrats are mostly centrist, and it is the radicalization of the right that sees this as far left. Far left looks very different.
The Trump base, like Trump himself, has become pot calling the kettle black and each accusation tends to be a confessional of their own crimes or warped psychology and an ongoing testimony to cognitive dissonance that is causing a total destruction of American and civil norms. Don't justify it with a cute retort as above.
