"We've -- look, I'm a conservative person, I'm used to media bias. We expected media bias going into this," said Ryan. Asked to cite a specific example of media bias, Ryan demurred, instead asserting that most people who work in the media have liberal political affiliations and, therefore, would want a president who is a Democrat to win."

That "liberal media bias" thing has been pretty much shattered by actual evidence. Of course, many people claim that's more evidence of a liberal conspiracy. *rolls eyes into infinity*

Their own fault for teaching me to look and think and ask questions when something didn't make sense...
