It could be, but the data on conservative shows suggests otherwise. Rosanne, last man standing, fox news... all out perform their counterparts. Again, small samples, but it's not unreasonable to think that there is a market for conservative content.

Probably because the smaller supply draws higher demand? You have dozens of channels for lefty claptrap but only a few shows for righty claptrap. Doesn't necessarily mean more market, just higher concentration in a few places.
Yup. That's why I said it's a possibility in my response to rollerjag and referenced a small sample size. I'm not saying it's impossible, only that the small sample we have has done fairly well. Even so, it would be a fool's errand to try to convince anyone that Hollywood is not heavily slanted left.

I would also add though with no actual data just an observation, that you find the bias in Hollywood as well. How many drop in lines do find denigrating the right in movies and sitcoms? Late night TV? Where on HBO is the counter to Bill Maher and John Oliver?
Perhaps it's because the market for "conservative" content can't match what Maher and Oliver draw.
Maybe conservative outlets should sign multi-million dollar contracts with US airports and force travelers to watch their content.

Without the votes of children, felons, illegals, the deceased, and morons the Dems have no base.
You listed five groups as voting but only two of them actually vote in significant numbers.
you should be careful not to get your facts wrong like this, or else others might put you in the last category there.

You can't prove that the deceased and illegals don't vote in significant numbers. It doesn't take that much to swing a close election, and there is a history of deceased votes making a difference. California has millions of adult illegals who might have voted, or might not. There are no records so no one can know for sure.

What other people think of me is none of my business and even less of my concern.

You'd have to get network television to let a conservative voice on the air. Good luck with that. Maybe you can get some major network to give Megyn Kelly a platform on national TV and...oh...wait.

Do you really think media companies aren't in it for the money? If there was a demand, there would be a supply.

The money comes from sponsors, most of which either support or at least pander to the Left. Do you really think that the audience of MSNBC spends enough to make corporate sponsorship a profit?

There are plenty of records. Many places in California give immigrants, both legal and illegal, a special voting status where they can vote for school board and city council but nothing else. there's a lot of paperwork associated with keeping that status and the ballots they get separate from normal voting.

Ah yes. Those multinational multibillion-dollar corporations just can't hide their love for Democrats.

I suppose 'significant numbers" is debateable but to pretend it isn't happening and in larger numbers is just dishonest. In fact, if you are paying attention, the Democrats are shifting policy towards protecting these wrongs. Oh, this just happened...

It's pretty common knowledge that Democrats nearly always raise more than Republicans. And no, the left has no strong corporate sponsorship at all (does not include multiple, heavy hitting union sponsorship)...
Microsoft
Facebook
Citi
Charles Schwab
Apple
AT&T
IBM
Oracle
Verizon
BlackRock
Facebook
Pfizer
Intel
Those are mostly deep state surveillance companies, weaponized against conservatives / populists / nationalists. Same as the media. It's an information war, and whoever controls the narrative gets to write (or rewrite) history.

The "special voting status" recipients are only the ones who registered legally. Here's a clue, if someone knowingly breaks a law he is much more likely to break other laws. And California refused to provide records to the federal commission studying illegal voting.
This is only One opinion but such a thing shows that the debate has not been definitively decided.

"Last Man Standing" was and is a pretty popular show, didn't stop ABC from dropping it due to the right leaning Mike Baxter's worldly views did it?

Just another example of RJ having zero clue what he is talking about. LMS was an extremely highly rated show for ABC, and they caved to the mob.
Also, Brooklyn 99 was a great show when on Fox and when NBC got hold of it, it is barely recognizable anymore with its left leaning political views.

Hahahaha this is such an exaggeration.
The show was funny on Fox and it's still funny on NBC.
