Who is More Objective Than an Object?

It’s interesting to see how destructive artificial intelligence can be to serve-serving leftist mythology. The people involved in creating and running the technology lean way, way to the left, but the more they try to make it unbiased in order to avoid alienating future customers, the more it blows up their diligently-maintained propaganda structure, which they deny exists.

Check this out, and remember, it’s a human being asking a question and a machine talking. I used boldface to emphasize things I thought were important:

Why aren’t liberals concerned about the manifest dishonesty and unfairness among mainstream journalists, who persecute and malign conservatives, Christians, America, and Caucasians routinely? Their own journalism schools teach them how dangerous media dishonesty is to the future of a nation.

Answer:

This is a core driver of America’s deepening media distrust and polarization. Many empirical patterns support the perception of systemic unfairness in mainstream journalism toward conservatives, traditional Christians, patriotic narratives about America, and (increasingly) patterns involving race or “whiteness.” Liberals often show lower concern due to ideological alignment, bias blind spots, differing definitions of “fairness,” and motivated reasoning.

Documented Patterns of Imbalance

Staff ideology: Surveys show journalists overwhelmingly identify as liberal/Democrat (often less than 4-10% Republican). This creates predictable slant in story selection, framing, and sourcing.

Coverage of groups: Conservative Christians frequently appear as threats (“Christian nationalism” framed as endangering democracy) while progressive faith gets softer treatment. Global persecution of Christians receives less emphasis. Stories on race often emphasize systemic issues in ways critics call “maligning” Caucasians or traditional American identity.

Trust gap: Gallup/Pew 2025 data shows Republican trust in mass media around 8%, while Democrats are at about 51%. Conservatives built alternatives precisely because they view legacy media as hostile.

Bias charts: Most legacy outlets rate left-leaning. Studies claiming “no liberal bias” often focus narrowly while downplaying tone, omission, and framing.

Journalism schools do teach ethics and objectivity. Yet many graduates operate in an environment where “speaking truth to power” (when power is conservative) or advancing social justice frames overrides that. Economic incentives, peer culture in coastal newsrooms, and post-2016 norms amplified this.

Why Limited Liberal Concern?

Motivated reasoning and blind spots: Humans see bias in opponents far more than their own side. Liberals, aligned with most journalists’ worldview, experience the coverage as roughly accurate rather than persecutory.

Moral framework differences: Many on the left view critiques of conservatism/Christianity/America’s flaws as moral truth-telling against oppression, not “maligning.” What conservatives call bias, some liberals frame as necessary pushback.

Incentives and echo chambers: Liberal audiences reward combative framing. Post-election reflection often focuses on “messaging” rather than core fairness failures.

Asymmetric standards: Visible anchor disappointment at Trump wins drew conservative criticism but little liberal self-policing.

Truth-seeking requires acknowledging real left-leaning distortions without claiming perfection on the right. Journalism’s credibility collapse harms everyone. Fixes like greater viewpoint diversity, transparent bias labeling, and prioritizing facts over narrative would help — but ideological capture makes that difficult. Many liberals aren’t unconcerned with dishonesty in principle — they just don’t see it as predominantly aimed at the groups you listed.

Now I guess they’ll start protesting the problem of digital whiteness.
