Colorado Springs is not a a liberal city. Indeed, because of the nearby air force based and the Air Force Academy the Springs has a large military community. It has a large number of conservative leaning people there. Indeed, in El Paso County (which is where Colorado Springs is located) the number of registered Republicans significantly outnumbers registered Democrats.
And no, not all the media out there is liberal or slanted towards democrats, though lots of conservatives like to play victim and pretend that's true when their narrative doesn't go over well. Fox News and the Wall Street Journal are just two large media outlets that have a conservative point of view. There are others. And to the the extent that liberal media outnumbers conservative media, whose fault is that? Conservatives have just as much right and opportunity to create media outlets as liberals do. So if conservatives cannot create compelling, interesting media that draws a lot of viewers/readers, that's on us. I'd love to see more interesting and compelling conservative content. But I don't blame liberals for the lack of that content. For my part I read a variety of media, liberal and conservative, to get a more full rounded view of things. If you only listen to one narrow viewpoint your own viewpoint will similarly become narrow.
LoL, said by someone who doesn't live there and, I'll bet, hasn't spent any appreciable time there recently. Per FBI crime statistics, Aurora had a violent crime rate of .00529 per capita in 2016, while in Denver the rate in the same year was .00657. In other words, Aurora was a safer city than Denver. And both were significantly safer than, say, Chicago which had a violent crime rate per capita of .011, or over double the crime rate Aurora had. DC had a similar rate of .01132, and I lived there at the time. My neighborhood was quite safe, but there were certainly parts of DC that weren't. Living again now in Colorado I can tell you that Denver is overall a pretty safe city, though there are some neighborhoods that aren't all that safe. Same with Aurora. Most neighborhoods I have no hesitation being in, even at night. Clearly, you don't really know what you are talking about when it comes to what cities you've never lived in are like.
