There is left wing media like that but none of it is close to as big as Fox News. Yes, both sides do it but quantity matters.

- janlukacs 6y agoi'm not american, but watching CNN and FOX News is EXACTLY the same thing - two propaganda machines masquerading as news.
- intended 6y agoThis is being nice to Fox, which was designed and imagined from, the ground up, as a partisan machine. I mean these are the people who happily pushed and continue to push creationism because evolution (science) is a problem for them. People are aghast today by how there’s a separate reality, but the human trials were done in public. Creationism was the writing on the wall. Lumping Fox in the same breath as both sides is not true. The other side doesn’t include just “leftist” content, it includes the BBC, NYT, and apparently Jstor papers and Darwin. Fox also actively prevents content that undoes its narratives. They argument is that “the other side does it.” There’s no doubt that there is motivated reasoning and bad arguments in the normal news. But Fox uses that as an excuse to give up altogether and just double down. America is where it is because Fox News paved the way. You couldn’t give them enough credit for what they achieved.
- nathias 6y agoThe left uses a different style, so if you are more left leaning you are less likely to recognize it as propaganda, but you can analyze a few articles where you have some more immediate source (whole video, images etc), and both receptions. Propaganda isn't just lies, its omissions, shifting importance and focus, framing, use of statistics etc.
