I'm sorry but the GOP media cocoon is a huge problem for the party. Right wing media created a false universe that thoroughly convinced Republicans that their views not only were right, but were also shared by the vast majority of Americans. It created a false sense of security. They figured they were doing everything right and didn't make the changes necessary to win the election, As it turns out, most Americans were very much against their agenda.

At least most liberal media uses facts and data and tries to understand the motives coming from the other side. And they're also not afraid to knock down one of their own if they screw up. MSNBC was probably the hardest on Obama after the first debate. Right wing media has become almost cult like, showing intense devotion to the Republican party and failing to tell the entire story

Sorry, but the mindset you are describing does not afflict only the GOP.  The main problem the GOP has with their media bubble that the Dems do not have with their bubble is that the GOP bubble is smaller than the Dem bubble and it is shrinking.

It affects both sides, but to a different extent. And Fox News still destroys other cable news channels in the ratings.

But the other side gets CNN (Communist News Network), MSNBC (More Socialism Now Broadcasting Commune), PBS (Proletariat Broadcast Soviet), CBS (Communist Broadcast Soviet), NPR (National Proletariat Radio), etc., while the right has to make do with Faux News and EIB (Extreme Indigestion Broadcasting).

At least Comrade Central has the Colbert Report.
