So basically, you are in favour of cancel culture and against freedom of speech?

Also, can we stop saying news media on both side?
We know who owns 95% of American news outlet and none of those white dude a leftist.

They're conservative making money, shaping our discourse.

P.S: I have a baccalaureate, and have many friends with a phd.
It's not hard, it's dedication to learning a thing just so some shithead on the internet can say that you research is fake.

These morons think Rachel Maddow is some kind of Marxist-Leninist and not a milquetoast liberal.

Actually who owns news media is public information, no need for your conspiracy theories. Here, let’s take a look at who owns my local publication, which happens to own many others and is the largest newspaper distributor in the United States:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gannett

It also owns “the national newspaper USA Today, as well as several local newspapers, including the Detroit Free Press; The Indianapolis Star; The Cincinnati Enquirer; The Florida Times-Union in Jacksonville, Florida; The Tennessean in Nashville, Tennessee; The Daily News Journal, in Murfreesboro, Tennessee; The Courier-Journal in Louisville, Kentucky; the Democrat and Chronicle in Rochester, New York; The Des Moines Register; The Arizona Republic in Phoenix, Arizona; The News-Press in Fort Myers, Florida; the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel; and the Great Falls Tribune in Great Falls, Montana”

Ever since Gannett bought out these publications, they began publishing with a liberal bias. Feel free to challenge this and claim publications like USA Today are not liberal, I’d love to show you some articles to the contrary. I have quite a few ready to go, just give the word

Not sure where you are getting your information that conservatives own mainstream media. Conservatives own Fox, OAN, Newsmaxx and that’s about all I can think off of the top of my head

Democrats owning mainstream media and being a mouthpiece for the DNC is exactly why Biden won the last election

And no I’m always for free speech. I don’t want to shut any news down. I say bravo for controlling the mainstream media. If people are too stupid to get their information from elsewhere, that’s on them

Nor do I see a need to protect people from “misinformation”. Full grown adults should be able to develop the critical thought to differentiate what is real and fake and if they can’t, that’s on them too. This crusade against misinformation by liberals is a joke. There’s misinformation everywhere, in advertising, in nutrition labels, in documentaries, in politics. There can be no end once you open the door to shutting down misinformation. Are democrats going to shut down Gary’s Plenty of Fish dating site profile saying “Gary, we know your dick is only 5.2 inches not 8 inches, that’s misinformation”

It’s just another form of censorship, weaponized to be used when it suits them. People need to be allowed to make their own mistakes, including taking in the wrong information

you can easily google who own the us news media.
Roughly 15 billionaires owning roughly 95% of news outlets.
None of that is conspiracy.




Some are more center leaning.
Some are in favour of more taxation.
None of them staunch socialist unless you can be both a hardcore lefty and a billionaire capitalist.

If a billionaire wanted to publish media that went against the political beliefs of his/her staff, that staff would all eventually quit. People get really passionate about their politics. These companies tend toward a particular slant because the majority of their employees feel the same way politically, not just their billionaire owner. Remember what I said before about the smaller party gets bullied out? Happens within companies too

So regardless of what theories you hold about the political slant of particular media (and we’ll have to agree to disagree on everything other than the fact that if you go high enough, all media is controlled by the same few parent companies, that I agree with), this political slant is a representation of the majority of their employees, not just their CEO
