While some of the points made in the blog were interesting, and some even right on the mark, a lot of it fails the sanity test. If you believe that there is such a thing as "objective truth", even though ofttimes it may be difficult to discern, then you could indeed conclude after performing suitable research, that one party (namely, the left) more often needs to lie in order to advance their agenda. So, the neutral view that "everybody does it" (that is, relies on baldfaced lies to advance their agenda), is just not supported by the facts on the ground.

Yes, but perception defines reality. From their perception, it looks like we're the ones lying because we go against the facts that they see. We see the opposite. It's merely a point of view that our perception of reality changes. If they don't see the same facts we do, then how do they know they're lying? (or vice versa). The objective truth is hard indeed to find.

In general, you can use the test of time.

If you play back half-year-old, year-old, and two-year-old journalism you would expect to hear things that sound dated. The question is, how much of the dated-ness would reflect a Republican tint, and how much a Democratic slant? IMHO to ask the question is to answer it. Not because journalists are Democrats, but because (distinction but not a difference)

Democrats have no principle other than to go along and get along with journalists.

And journalists are anticonservative because that's the way to attract attention (and, therefore, to get paid by advertisers). They don't call it anticonservatism, of course--but that's the obvious implication of the rules of journalism (including pretense of objectivity).
