One of the favorite techniques of conservatives in the media is to attack the "librul" media as biased. When confronted with the facts, these conservatives smugly state that the questioner is wrong about the facts and proceed to deliver a line of ideological talking points to their conservative base who enjoy confrontation with the demonized "librul" media as entertainment more than any concern for the facts or inconvenient truths.
