>>>actual 'facts' have a distinct 'left wing' slant! ( as does this thing we keep calling 'reality' )<<<

Reality is your experience. Other people may doubt your interpretation of experience but even if you are schizophrenic, your experience is the only reality you hold. What you do with that reality is construct an interpretive operational explanation, which you can share with others as you see fit.

Your experience changes moment to moment but there are fairly reliable constants that you can draw from, like your scientific understanding of gravity, or your ethical understanding of cheating.

It is a costly personal mistake to let reality be defined for you by a political entity since reality exists in constantly changing circumstance, which require adaptability and continual conscientious consideration of all influences to get it right, whereas political entities are fairly rigid.

Leftwing or rightwing interpretation (slants) of "facts" are a constructed reality to serve political ends, similar to military operations being a violent force to serve political ends. It is a means being justified by ends perspective. If you find comfort in that, so be it. I got a feeling Lane3 might have something to say about this post... I think I got it right but maybe not.
