A lot of the MSM is actually clickbaity. CNN is one of the worst offenders. That made them look LW during the Trump years because they would have some dramatic story about every stupid thing that Trump said or did. But nowadays they do similar things with anti-Biden stories. You see dramatic and out of context stories about the Afghan pull-out, inflation, crime, etc.

I'd actually call the MSM "neoliberal," which means they are all in on Wokism but totally ignore issues of class. The corporations want you to focus a lot more on race and gender than of class. Corporate board members are incredibly weathy. Top reporters range from very well paid to filthy rich. They are happy to let a few more black people into the top ranks as long as you don't ask why they make so much money. They'd rather you think other voters are racist so you split your vote than you all get together and vote based on class. You'd be surprised how many people on the right see this and how many people on the left don't.

But those seem really obvious and I’m sure that there are tons of press agencies that are similarly aligned.
NYT and NPR are center/center-right these days.
NPR Nice Polite Republicans. I heard this about 8 years ago.

Basically all major media in this country is oligarchically controlled and therefore is right-wing. Different oligarchic factions compete and prefer to do so on the basis of cultural issues like religion, sexuality, gender identity, guns, etc. Those divides are not left vs right, they’re better described as urban vs rural or costal vs landlocked.
Does no one here get that left vs right comes from 18th-century France and was about the privileges of the landed? Does anyone really think WaPo works to threaten Bezos’s wealth?
Oh, good. The Jacobins are here.
Strong rebuttal!

The NYT used to be the highlight of my week - I'd pay to get theh paper sunday version. Now it is pages and pages of woke drivel about microaggressions etc.
We’re supposed to take seriously someone who calls the WSJ “centrist”? The NYT is so conservative and it’s just never enough for you people.

I think the legitimacy of a news source probably bears some relationship to the amount of resources it devotes to actual news gathering. So, if your source mainly repurposes news gathered by other sources and uses it as a jumping off point for offering opinion material on that news, it's probably not very reliable or centered.
If your source pays a lot of people to go to a lot of places, talk to a lot of people, and review a lot of documents, it probably has more legitimacy.

Both rated center-left as opposed to the most popular and most trusted news sites used by conservatives, for example:
FOX News - right, NOT center-right
OAN - extreme-right, questionable
Newsmax - extreme-right, questionable
Breitbart - extreme-right, questionable
Western Journal - extreme-right, questionable
Federalist - extreme-right, questionable
Judical Watch - extreme-right, questionable
Gateway Pundit - extreme-right, questionable
Et cetera et cetera et cetera
Yet they want everyone to believe that Washington Post and NYT are extreme-left and untrustworthy when their own news sources are far more extreme, questionable, and less trustworthy
You are arguing against points that no one is making.
So we're all in agreement that most of the supposed "liberal fake news media" is really not all that far left and is not all that fake and unreliable and that right wing media IS sketchy and extreme?
I think you lost the PP with that kind of common sense. They cannot bring themselves to acknowledge that their media choices have all the legitimacy of Weekly World News.
