Because they live in NJ, generally a Democratic stronghold and particularly in the area he described.

There are many parts of the US where the local government is 100% controlled by Democrats, so they are in power in those areas.

Thunderfork's question stands: if they are biased towards power (democrats), how can they also be biased towards the left?

		I figured that was the semantic game he (and you apparently) are playing. 1. The Democratic Party represents the left in the US, so the left is in power when they are in power. 2. In other parts of the world, parties and individuals who are further left on the political spectrum than the US Democratic Party (either nationally or in any location under discussion here) obtain power. As those are generally repressive regimes, their media is generally highly biased in their direction, making them biased towards both the left and the people on power. If you want to have a meaningful discussion, feel free to stop being coy.
