A line many liberals hear from their conservative counterparts is, “Liberals never use facts.”
Which I find ironic because it’s usually said towards something I’ve
written that contains not only facts, but the sources to those facts.
It’s also humorous because often the individuals who say this never
provide any kind of facts to counter what’s been said, just the simple
statement of, “Liberals never use facts.”
It’s easy to understand why many right-wingers think this—have you
seen where they get their “news” from? Sources such as Fox News that
constantly attack the “mainstream media,” which wouldn’t be anything
worth mentioning—except they often brag about being America’s most
watched cable news channel.
Nothing quite like attacking the mainstream media, then immediately
bragging about being at the top of that mountain. But being the most
watched doesn’t mean they’re the best. In fact, it just shows how
controlled conservatives actually are. They have the highest ratings
because conservatives only trust Fox News. While liberals will watch CBS, MSNBC, ABC, CNN—most Republicans only watch Fox News.
However, Fox News might not be able to make this claim for much longer—their ratings are plummeting.
But if the conservative claim that liberals don’t use facts is true, why is reality often on our side?
