Sigh! This is just another fruitless example of moral equivalence to somehow attempt to discredit my POV. As I've already said, that dog won't hunt. It was DOA the first time you tried it & it will be DOA every single time you bring it up again.

Why?

Because we are NOT talking about simple bias &/or everybody does it on both sides. I am dumbfounded why you persist on these lines.

Are you saying that simple "bias" causes everyone to regularly engage in illegal, unethical, immoral behavior to achieve an agenda by any means necessary??

We're talking about the leadership of the MSM & DNC for the last 6 years or so have gone literally off the deep end. They've engaged in a series of actions that is so outrageous, so persistent & so far beyond the pale it is mind boggling.

Can you cite any equivalent instances where conservatives have acted remotely close to what I have discussed?

I'm serious! If everybody does it, please cite morally equivalent behavior by conservatives that matches what I have discussed with you. Please be as specific in your citations as I have been with you.

BTW, your study shows at best a link to "bias" when they test "staunch party members from both sides". They don't define how they determined "staunch".

Webster defines staunch as - "steadfast in loyalty or principle"

American Heritage says - "Firm and steadfast" "faithful"

I can assure you I am not a "staunch" conservative. Not even close. And most conservatives would not meet the criteria to be considered "staunch" as those tested in that study. Would they be that way on certain issues where they have strong emotional ties? Sure. But not on many conservative causes & certainly not in huge numbers. Just look around SI on conservative boards.

However those folks in the MSM & DNC that I've been talking about; now they, to a great extent, would likely be very "staunch" liberals. You get that a lot in intolerant, cloistered, groupthink circles. Hell, I've documented a lot of it right here on this thread.
