weird that.
Personally, I think they do each lean to their respective sides. I just think one side leans way further and has no interest in bothering to attempt to remain somewhat neutral.

The more left leaning agencies (depending on the writers etc) probably go too far their way too, although still much less than others.
I think some of it comes down to the echo chamber / social media type environment we exist in where people are generally super happy to hear whatever they believe over and over. And thus are happy to keep consuming the same strand of content. Almost like choosing what show to watch on Netflix. And I'm not immune to that either. But I try to take a step back every now and then and look at stuff objectively.
