In An Attempt to Attract More Right-wingers, “Liberal” CNN Tacks Even Further to the Right
There’s a convenient “either/or” fallacy that many engage in when referring to the media.
There’s right-wing hate media that maligns everything not promoting faux grievance, outrage, and fear, pandering to a overtly republican base.
Fox so-called “news” is an example of this. So are One America News Network (OANN), Sinclair Media-owned stations, Murdoch-owned newspaper The New York Post, and scores of internet sites, like Breitbart; The Epoch Times; The Blaze; The Daily Caller; The Washington Times; The Washington Examiner; and Meta, the social media site formerly known as Facebook.
Joining them are 1,500 right-wing terrestrial radio stations that can be picked up coast to coast.
Millionaire-funded, they provide middle-class and poor audiences convenient scapegoats, usually minorities and Democrats, on whom to blame their problems so they don’t turn on the ultra wealthy and corporations guilty of shipping our manufacturing jobs overseas and exploiting tax loopholes.
Then there is the small pool of progressive media that exists mostly on the internet, satellite radio or certain streaming services like Roku.
