You are basically trying to argue Democrats have a whole bunch of power and aren't using it.

Its an overestimation of their ability.

The fact is the left doesn't want a biased network like Fox news, we'd never tune in. We are anti-authoritarian in that regard. It goes against our principles. We don't have left wing fox news because we -cant- have left wing fox news.

This isn't to say Democrats arent ineffective at using the media. This is the correct take. But to believe the left could have a fox news equivalent is delusional.

Not sure if the "You" you're referring to is me or someone else but...

Yes, I agree! And that's the "problem", in as much as it's a problem. By being a "big tent" party that doesn't adhere to a singular viewpoint, Democrats have a harder time selling their ideas. But also, there's a large contingent of Democrats don't want to just be spoon fed a narrative and not have to think.

If you're a Republican though, it's just "listen to Fox News and adhere to what they say". It's not exactly a surprise that Republicans are also the party more closely aligned with religion, "believing", and taking things on faith.

And yes, I know I'm painting in broad strokes here. There will always be exceptions that prove the rule.
