Fair question, Brewha.
I try to post the videos or written commentary that is organized in a better, clearer way than I could do extemporaneously if I was replying to a post or contributing a thought. Usually the commentary is a reaction to what one of the postmodern progressives had said and they have the clip of the person stating their position or thoughts. In this way I do hear from the “opposition” but it is cherry picked. I watch CSPAN and Forbes which show unedited clips of politicians making their complete statements w/o commentary from a talking head. I think that gives me a better idea of what the opposition is saying w/o a talking head telling me what to think. I also watch other YouTube channels that have a person from both sides of the aisle, each making their arguments and having a quick watered down debate. I don’t read as much online commentary as I once did because my eyes get tired but I do read some. When I search a topic online the results are overwhelmingly left-leaning sources so I think I get a lot of opinions from the left of the political spectrum in that way. I do not have any left leaning sources that I watch regularly. That is probably a blind spot for me. I’m turned off by these sources because I think they are drenched in ideology. By this I mean to reference things like not recognizing the difference between a man and a woman or calling people white supremacists if they want a secure border, people who want to do away with the department of education hate children, etc., etc.. I realize that the conservative leaning sites have their own biased language but it doesn’t grate on me because I generally agree with their thinking on the underlying policy, even if their language or presentation is flawed or biased. Maybe I give myself too much credit, but I think I’m responsible in sorting out the bias in the sources that I usually consume. I hope this long reply isn’t word salad. I welcome your feedback if anything is on your mind. I know your post wasn’t directed to me but I thought it was a good discussion point.
