Reality has a well-known liberal bias.
I forget if theres a name for this, but with modern news outlets platforming conservative takes and "left" takes in these whoever speaks loudest wins 1v 1 (or similar) setups it usually leads people to believe that both "opinions" stand on similar grounds factually, despite them having very different tiers of evidence.
also by even scheduling a debate between say… Bill Nigh and a creationist, the illusion is created that these are equal things, equally deserving of our attention and time. before you ever get into the moderator bias creating an impression that the truth lies in the middle of these two people when in reality only one of them is speaking in good faith.
