I find that a lot of people end up engaging with ideas that conflict with their own via hosts/shows/personalities of someone who is extremely ideological and is explaining someone else’s view through the lens of being moronic or even evil. On the right an obvious example would be Tucker Carlson and on the left it would be someone like Nina Turner, maybe the Pod Save guys. A whole station would be Fox vs MSNBC, obviously.
Do conservatives have a way to engage with liberal ideas that avoids media/influencer bias? Or are you concerned about how that side of the news is missing? I ask, because I find that very few venues do this honestly with conservative ideas and I end up getting more informed on what forms an opinion from talking to friends and family than any attempt at engaging with it online or through the news.

What do you mean by engaging? When I hear that word, I think you’re talking about having actual discussions. Do you mean where do we hear those viewpoints explained, assuming we’re not normally exposed to anyone outside of our own ideological bubble?
I understand the sentiment behind liberal ideas, and there are even a few I am fine with, like same-sex marriage and legalized marijuana.
However, it’s difficult to engage with many people on the left because most often, it turns into name-calling.
I do enjoy watching debates between the left and the right, like Piers Morgan Uncensored, and I’ve come to like Cenk Uygur on the left because he is willing to have discussions and venture into conservative spaces.
