These leftists don’t even seem to care that their bias is so clearly displayed. Maybe it comes from living in a leftist bubble.

They no longer have to pretend to be unbiased because the public expects it, and in many cases, applauds it.

Some of their bias certainly comes from being in the self-reinforcing bubble they live and work in. Everyone they associate with shares the same progressive ideology and tribal fear of those with different views.
But a lot of it has to do with self-interest. The Leftist media has a symbiotic relationship with the political elites. The media gives them favorable coverage and in return it gets ready access to decision makers, inside scoops and ready-made copy from their well-placed sources inside the government — its a highly effective propaganda machine for the Leftists in power. Its also highly corrupt and unethical.
When the Right is in power (such as that is) the state affiliated media loses some of its access to highly placed sources. This in turn drives them to attack the Right even more in hopes of returning their friends back into power.
Since this symbiotic arrangement is never going to change, the best Republicans can do is refuse to subject themselves to the media’s traps and fake debates.
