Reality has a liberal bias

That was literally a joke from Stephen Colbert's White House Correspondents speech for George W Bush. 🤣

"Reality has a liberal bias"

Up to early 2010s, I used to hear this said unironically all the time. And from people with far more prestige than random reddit accounts.
Can't say I gave it any attention as to when people stopped saying it, but I don't remember the last time I heard it. It can't have been anytime soon.

Now I hear Tim Pool say something similar "truth has a right wing bias these days", and I cringe every time, because I've seen enough of history to know one day this will again change.
