Because Truth has a liberal bias

  • Liberalism Defined

    "But if by a 'Liberal' they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people -- their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties -- someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a 'Liberal,' then I'm proud to say I'm a 'Liberal.'" John F. Kennedy New York Acceptance Speech

  • Conservativism Defined

    People who call themselves conservatives, support the status quo. They believe the systems in place, such as capitalism and "business as usual" are all well and fine, but that any existing social programs are a waste of money and promote laziness and waste.

    Many conservatives believe that Leave it to Beaver and Father Knows Best were documentaries.

  • Socialism in the US

    "The roots of socialism in America can be traced to the arrival of German immigrants in the 1850s when Marxian socialist unions began, such as the National Typographic Union in 1852, United Hatters of 1856, and Iron Moulders' Union of North America in 1859." US History.com

Anti-Communism Cartoon – 1948

This video is but one example of the way in which propaganda was used against collectivism in the US to vilify and distort the pool of Common Knowledge during those times that populist movements were coming together for the rights of We, the People. This particular piece of propaganda was used during the Cold War as an example of the “evils” of the Soviet Union. US populist movements had been, and would continue to be, equated with the evil Soviet Union for many years.

See, for most recent examples, talking heads and politicians who referred to then Senator, Barack Obama as a Marxist, his proposed policies as socialist, and the dire warnings of impending communism should he be elected. It would appear based on his overwhelming win that Americans are ready for a “Marxist” with a “socialist” agenda and are ready to welcome “communism” to the US.
