liberals censor the views they fear, because the truth will hurt them
<!-- couldn't this be generalized into a "political bias in media" article? I don't see a reason for a specific article about the leftist version-->
<!-- couldn't this be generalized into a "political bias in media" article? I don't see a reason for a specific article about the leftist version. [No, because liberal bias is special. You are engaging in it now, by pretending that liberals are no worse than anyone else when actually they're worse by far. The 'moral equivalence' card will always be trumped by the truth card, so give it up, dude.] -->
'''Liberal bias''' is partisan selection of information to support [[liberal]] policies. This selection bias can be expressed by reporters and other journalists in mainstream media. It includes techniques such as [[placement bias]], [[photo bias]] and [[liberal style]]. There is a difference between being liberal, having a liberal perspective, and having a liberal bias.

The essence of liberal bias is to dismiss or even to censor all opposing views. For liberals, to allow the airing or publishing of an opposing view creates the risk that people might discover errors in the liberal viewpoint. Conservatives, on the other hand, will "oppose your view with every fibre of their being but defend to the death your right to say it" because they believe that in the [[marketplace of ideas]] the true will always win over the false. (Which is way at Conservapedia we are not afraid to mention and even to summarize anti-conservative arguments.)
