where IS this supposed “liberal media” I hear so much about?
It definitely is not ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN, New York Times, Washington Post, NPR, PBS…
Yeah, it is. Liberal ≠ Left wing
Neoliberalism (which is the kind of liberalism practiced in the US) is a center right to right wing ideology.
Just because something is to the left of literal fascism doesn’t mean it’s left of center.
Neoliberals are rich and/or influential in higher echelon.
There are regular liberals. Who are definately left to far left of center. We’re just more neutral to the economic system and more into preserving human rights.

Those aren’t liberals. You’re conflating what the word means with the incorrect usage of the billionaire-owned media.
Here’s Phil Ochs accurately describing liberals from a Left point of view
We’re just more neutral to the economic system and more into preserving human rights.
That doesn’t make any sense in a capitalist world where a lot if not MOST human rights violations are allowed to go unpunished because of economic considerations. It’s just as bad as the “social liberal economic conservative” bullshit.

It makes perfect sense when the main economic system isn’t changing anytime soon and that humans won’t just magically become not shitty if changed to another one
Neoliberalism is a perversion of liberalism. It is not the evolution and certainly not the natural progression of liberal thought.
It is a excuse looking for a rationalization. An offshoot no normal liberal would approve of. They are like that weird stranger who thinks numbers will fix everything.
I always recommend this 4 part philosophytube series on liberalism as a good starting point for liberals to understand their own ideology and how it enables fascism:
