    The problem is that the new media is being bought by billionaires and their personal interests. There is no one who will fund the “tax people like me broadcast company” for the left. All major media, whether new or legacy, whether right or “left” are a cudgel to beat the working class in the class war. The left/right descriptor is applied in reference to their stances on social issues that don’t cost anything but nice cheap words, like whether transgender people should have rights.

    This is asymmetrical warfare. The billionaire class have all the means to propagandize and we have to rely on having some really good individuals hopefully get popular enough to spread naturally.

    While the issues of marginalized peoples are very important, as you can see from the exit polling most people of all stripes are concerned about economic issues (the class war) and no media will properly address that as it doesn’t suit their desires (fabulously wealthy newscasters) or their owners.
