Word (Microsoft) - Liberal Bias in Thesaurus
This is an example of liberals being biased again.
Use the Thesaurus to look up the words "Liberal" and "Conservative."
Liberal comes up with:
Open-minded
Broadminded
Moderate
Noninterventionist
Freethinking
Tolerant
Laissez-faire
Conservative comes up with:
Traditional

Conformist
Unadventurous
Old-fashioned

Yet again, liberals are made to look good, while conservatives (even if they're moderate conservatives) are made to look bad!

Conservative and liberal aren't just political terms, they have other meanings. The dictionary isn't talking about conservative people, it's talking about the word conservative. When people call themselves conservative, they usually aren't saying that they are old fashioned, they are saying that they have conservative political beliefs. This isn't an easter egg at all, and you people are idiots.

Umm... those would be the correct synonyms the words "liberal" or "conservative" have had for at least a 100 years.

Jboy is right; the words "conservative" and "liberal" have non-political meanings. That's where the political meanings came from. Not all of them apply, and for the ones that do, whether they're positive or negative is a matter of opinion (for example, if you're a conservative, chances are you don't think being conservative is a bad thing).

It's not biased. It's the dictionary definition. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/liberal (If the link doesn't work, go to dictionary.com. Then look up conservative.)

I agree; it is biased. This egg isn't really an egg though; it's part of the programming, but yes, it is biased.

It's biased! Conservatives ARE made to look bad; how can you not notice that? Sure, there are a few conservatives who are genuinely bad people, but there aren't as many bad conservatives as there are bad left-wingers!
