I've said it before and I'll say it again -- I'm not getting more liberal, but I am definitely getting more anti-"conservative," as that term is degraded and debased by the modern Right.

The idea of a political spectrum is so deeply embedded in the American political press.
They don't have a problem identifying multiple, competing extremist factions when reporting on foreign countries. But in the US, the only lens they've got is "liberal - centrist/moderate - conservative" and it warps their coverage of everything, not just maga but of the democrats too where actual conservative democrats like manchin are never given that label.
