<!-- 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, while usually presenting themselves as objective reporting mediums.  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.

'''Liberal bias''' is partisan selection of information to support [[liberal]] policies. This selection bias can be expressed by [[professor values|professors]] and [[public school]] teachers, [[College Board]] exams, reporters and other journalists in mainstream media, and any other information source.  Typically purveyors of liberal bias falsely present themselves as being objective.  Liberal bias includes techniques such as distorted selection of information, [[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. On the other hand, Conservatives typically uphold freedom of ideological expression, with many expressing that although they may oppose a liberal view with every fiber of their being, they will defend to the death their right to say it, because they believe that in the [[marketplace of ideas]] the true will always win over the false. (At Conservapedia we are not afraid to mention and even to summarize anti-conservative arguments.)
