<!-- 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.

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.

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. (At Conservapedia we are not afraid to mention and even to summarize anti-conservative arguments.)

During the [[Vietnam War]], the [[Soviet Union]] was the principal ally of [[Communist ]] North Vietnam, providing weapons and training in what was a major conflict of the [[Cold War]] that took 58,000 American lives. ''CBS Evening News with [[Walter Cronkite]]'' regularly carried news reports from its [[Moscow]] Bureau Chief, [[Bernard Redmont]]. When peace negotiations  commenced with North Vietnam in Paris, Redmont became ''CBS News'' [[Paris]] Bureau Chief.  What Redmont never reported during the ten year conflict was, Redmont had been a [[KGB]] operative since the 1930s, and member of the notorious [[Silvermaster group]]. <ref>[http://hnn.us/articles/11581.html KGB file 43173 vol. 2 (v) pp. 46-55], Alexander Vassiliev, Notes on A.
