Current Events > I don't think people realize the amount of money in right wing media

(+) Yeah! (+)

America really is the land of opportunists.

You make so much money by grifting and lying, its not a coincidence many people are getting into it.

how do you apply to be an evil right wing tool

• Make a YouTube account
• Look for articles about a popular franchise with quotes from a notable woman or left wing personality
• Accuse that franchise or celebrity with an accusatory headline by twisting that quote to suit an agenda. e.g. BRIE LARSON FORCING MARVEL TO BE WOKE?!
• In your YouTube thumbnail write that thumbnail in bold red colors and photoshop a picture of that person looking evil and/or ridiculous
• Record a video of yourself sounding angry and disbelief at how crazy this situation is and modern society is becoming too liberal and left
• Profit
• Move onto other topics when the following is large enough and do the same thing

Now we're saying the right controls the media? I wish lmao

Who controls in then in your opinion?

Now we're saying the right controls the media? I wish lmao

Society controls the media. All we want to do is argue about dumb shit so that's all the media feeds us

They definitely have far more control than the disenfranchised everyman they try to paint themselves as.

there seems to be way more left leaning channels though?

If you mean TV channels, have you seen the viewerships of FOX etc compared to MSNBC etc?

Now we're saying the right controls the media? I wish lmao

Yeah, unfortunately the right pretty much has all the money and are able to control the media the way they see fit.

What?

Look how popular anti-LGBTQ rhetoric and conspiracy theories have gotten.

"But teh CNN exists and art is left-leaning!"

to be fair the far left has become so incredibly aggressive lately

More aggressive than the literal fascists trying to push anti-LGBTQ, anti-abortion, and anti-vax, rhetoric?

to be fair the far left has become so incredibly aggressive lately its pushing people away, dont think its just the paid media, just look at the Hogwarts Legacy thing, its so incredibly ridiculous there is just zero chance at this point were not living in some weird simulation

Whose shitty alt is this?

no freaking idea who Sean Hannity is but good for him

Just say you're out of touch?

Now we're saying the right controls the media? I wish lmao

doesnt that just mean right leaning people just consume right leaning news though and since they dont have as many options its more concentrated on a single channel

I mean its roughly equally divided in the USA is it not?

I certainly am focused on stuff that is important to me if thats what you mean

edit: googled it and hes some american talk show host who talks about politics, Im not even american why should I even know him?

to be fair the far left has become so incredibly aggressive lately its pushing people away, dont think its just the paid media, just look at the Hogwarts Legacy thing, its so incredibly ridiculous there is just zero chance at this point were not living in some weird simulation

But I was told by that billion dollar machine that conservatives have no voice in America

Your argument was "more left channel means the media is NOT controlled by the right" - I was pointing out the number of viewers has more of on influence that the number of channels. As to "equally divided", are you asking about number of channels?

Because he is a key figure in the discussion about right wing media? Why make declarations if you don't think the details of the topic are important?

How is it "fair" to say one side does more of something than the other?

pretty sure I said that I think the right wing extremists are probably a little more aggressive than the left wing extremists, at least thats what I see on twitter, I dont watch tv channels or talk shows really, its just from what ive heard it felt the only real right wing channel was Fox news and everything else was pretty much left

I dont have numbers but would it be wrong for me to think that the average age of right wings is higher than left wing and younger people dont watch much of the news at all? they mostly take their news on tiktok, twitter and such

This topic started as a discussion of the funding of online media, though. The young crowd might be seeking left wing views online, but there is a seemingly bottomless budget for funding the Steven Crowders and Ben Shapiros of the world, specifically to try and reach that audience. The left does not have comparable benefactors.
