  The issue with this and many studies and generally perception is the terminology itself. What is far right anyway? The LA times literally ran a headline: > Larry Elder is the Black face of white supremacy. You’ve been warned. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2021-08-20/recall-candidate-larry-elder-is-a-threat-to-black-californians https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2021-08-20/recall-c... From that study CNN scores right next to LA times in terms of skew. The reality, is that most of what people see is left wing. Real far-right news isn’t on the air, and isn’t in most public debate. The Overton window is pretty far left, so anything more moderate seems right or far right.

    > The reality, is that most of what people see is left wing. This brings to mind the liberal battle cry that facts have a well-known liberal bias. > Real far-right news isn’t on the air, and isn’t in most public debate. I'm guessing you don't live in the U.S.? > The Overton window is pretty far left, so anything more moderate seems right or far right. O, for a scale on which to measure the position of the Overton window!

      > I'm guessing you don't live in the U.S.? I do, and I live in the country now and have lived in major cities. I also am familiar with history. Most people have no idea what they’re talking about. The bubble is real.

      Obviously you live in a big city.

    Racism is immediately the far right.
