The term '''Liberal media conservative''' describes the commitment by the  mainstream news media to so-called [[fairness]]. The typical offering from the mainstream media is a single moderate conservative speaker, reporter, columnist among hundreds of fellow liberal employees.  This person's view is almost exclusively [[moderate]] and they would most likely find more in common with their liberal counterparts than with their own conservative base. On occasion, a single true conservative such as [[Bill Kristol]] finds employment with the mainstream media, but it never lasts because of their commitment to real [[conservative]] viewpoints. The [[liberal media]] demands that they hire their brand of conservative- that will attack conservatives.
