The unusually stupid journalists don’t even know they are part of the marxist’s groug called the ‘useful idiots’.
Having been born and raised on that side of the political divide, I can tell you that most liberals have never closely inspected what conservatives believe in, and operate solely on the monolithic dogma they've been steeped in their whole lives.
To them, the liberal view is 'normal'. Conservatism is an extremist, dangerous political stance, which conflicts with common sense and all pro-survival considerations -- because 'everybody' says so.
If most people honestly examined both schools of thought, there'd hardly be any liberals in this country. Such examination would have to occur early in a person's social development for it to make a difference, and as we know, the left has a virtual monopoly on the educational establishment.
That, and the fact that they also control the news media and entertainment industry, virtually locks most Americans into enforced liberal indoctrination for much of their lives. It's a most diabolical trap.
