How is it biased? Is there anything in it that is disputable or inaccurate? Doesn't it describe the divide in opinion facing us today?

You have really got to be kidding...

Doesn't surprise me this is another propaganda piece from the Heritage Foundation, just for starters, but that's okay. I'm a big believer in reading opinion from contrarian sources. Avoiding obvious bias, however, tends to help provide for a better balanced presentation of the truth. If such a thing is possible when it come to politics. I've started more than a few threads about this sort of thing, and I've come to learn it doesn't really matter what facts, reason or logic are presented when it comes to battling confirmation bias, but here's to wasting a bit more of the time and effort anyway.

Not the quick and simple made-for-conservatives video, but instead here's something of a read that better demonstrates how we do see things differently still today, and why. From CNN, yes, but I've had even conservative friends agree this opinion piece is good and fair insight.

Plenty more I can offer for those who may actually want to consider these differences in a bit better balanced more intelligent manner...

I read that link and don't really see how it answers my original question regarding the information in the video:


I ask again: How is it biased? Is there anything in it that is disputable or inaccurate? Doesn't it describe the divide in opinion facing us today?

What about conservative vs liberal states for a higher standard of living? Liberal states easily win as found here.
Conservative vs Liberal States

Oklahoma Gov. Stitt wants to make Oklahoma a Top 10 state for quality of life, but it will require a monumental task to do that since Oklahoma as a conservative state is so far down the list for high quality living. As a result, only few people want to move there. Ultimately, though, it boils down to what kind of life an individual in each state wants to strive for. Life is how you make it.

What about Conservative vs. Democrat cities for Police that kill their Citizens, or just general murder rate of their black citizens? Owned by Democratd after decades of Democrat Control and saying they are better than Republicans
