I agree we need to have a defined centre, in my personal opinion, most of it is left of centre, especially in this country. Yeah local news will be differ, since I don't live in multiple areas at once I guess I can't say what the local news in Tulsa or San Fran are reporting. I'm fairly certain that the Tulsa news would be right of anything in San Fran, call it an educated guess.

What's an empty talking point? Did the mainstream media treat Trump and Hillary the same during the election process? Be honest now, I know it might be hard for you.
lol

The problem is that many people far enough on the right (and left) have had their views normalized, so someone like you looks at the mainstream media, which is quite decidedly center on most issues (but sometimes it falls to right and left bias depending on the issue), and sees "left leaning."

It's really the fault of the infotainment organizations, like Breitbart, Buzzfeed, Fox News, Mother Jones, etc, that have completely normalized heavy partisanship under the guise of trustworthy info sources. So when someone who is used to Alex Jones sees something on a major network, they're so brainwashed into thinking their way of thinking is normal and acceptable that center-oriented news organizations suddenly seem "left leaning" and "unfair."

Funny how quickly the right became a mirror image of everything they pretend to hate about the left.
