- xxpor 5y agoNot to the same extent, simply because the raison d'etre of the left is to (at the extreme end) eliminate those types of people in the first place. Why isn't there a OANN of the left? Sure the MSM has a mainstream liberal bias, but there's hardly any Big Left (as in full on communist) media, at least in the English speaking world. There's a multitude of reasons, but I believe a big part of it is there simply isn't funding for that sort of thing.
