Every time I look at this section of the board I think to myself about how much more productive the world could be if so many people weren't so obsessed with trying to reinforce their negative preconceptions about "the other side."

You should take this opportunity to practice what you preach.

That there is something he calls mainstream media causing "the libs" to believe something? Apparently a lot of people also believe there are caravans of islamic terrorists streaming over the United States southern border. https://www.monmouth.edu/polling-institu...us_111918/

Is that because of mainstream media? Are there some reports you know of telling people thousands of unarmed black people are killed by police each year, or is it just general ignorance?

Also funny how the enlightened fail to realize that while Fox is mainstream it offers a different perspective than “Legacy Media”.

Whatever you want to name it, there is a vast swath of media, both new and old, that leans decisively left. Their ability to shape the narrative influences the opinions of many people, to the point of keeping them uninformed. That's a problem. That has nothing to do with conservatism, other than the way it shapes the masses view of their positions.

While I've seen a similar sentiment often expressed it's never come with any sort of proof. The only current left wing news outlets I know of are decidedly not mainstream and you may have never even seen them. MSNBC used to seem to want to be a bit left slanted with people on there like Ed Schultz, but their moves over the years have made it clear that they're actually just trying to sell to left wingers while stifling actual left wing success, go back about a year and watch their coverage of Bernie Sanders and the early Democratic primaries and you'll see they're definitely not left wing.

If anything I'd call the mainstream news outlets right-wing-corporatist. Every issue is discussed from the point of view that right wing outlook should be the default and correct place to start. It's why every time I see someone claim the "mainstream media" leans left I get the distinct feeling they're not actually even watching it.

There's plenty of evidence for it. I've posted about this multiple times. Studies that look how journalists vote show that a vast majority are left of the average voter. There are other studies that just asks journalists how they self-identify politically. Again, overwhelmingly liberal. This is in contrast to the 80's, where about 25% were conservatives, 40% were liberals, and the remainder were independents. Five years ago, a similar study showed those numbers were now 7% conservatives, 50% independent, and the rest identify as liberals. Before you use that to justify moderate news outlets, when they surveyed the independents on individual issues, the results came back showing most of them being far left of center, so basically they are your Bernie bros that no longer identify as democrats. Combine that with the studies that show that leftists either consciously or subconsciously hire based on political values, and you have the recipe for extreme leftward trajectory an any corporation that holds progressive views. Which, btw, is exactly what the data shows. The left has gone left at a much further pace than the right has gone right.

I'm going to assume your counterpoint to this will be an infographic that tries to rank news outlets based on subjective claims and slaps several news outlets in the center, but that's worthless... kind of like politifact.

CNN and MSNBC used to be left leaning, but they are now decisively left. Same with the NYTimes and WaPost. There have been changes among their editorial boards that have promoted progressives and ousted moderates. With that change, comes a change in headlines and content. Not only is the news left leaning, so is big tech, which has been the alternative source of news. This has also happened at the Atlantic, and NPR. People don't believe and repeat misinformation unless there is a tool to organize and promote it, and that is the <insert whatever word you understand for the MSM>.

The original article in this thread is pointing out how the media is responsible for the misinformation that is occurring in our general population. Yet, that is exactly the charge Democrats are levying at conservative news outlets. I am sure you can get behind that sentiment, even though it's the exact same claim being made by Republicans. Are the Democrats lying, too? Or is only Fox, OANN, and NewsMax partisan?

I do agree that our media is capitalist in it's execution, but that will move us to a different discussion about how I have come to believe the left in America (and China, for that matter), are actually fascists. That's not name calling or deflecting, btw. It's 100% true in the case of China, but there are some exceptions with the American left.
