That is simply not true.... the reality is the vocal minority can only effect change is the structures of power support their cause. This is why people are sooo upset with the management change at twitter, and why they are going after the advertisers now while they still have at least symbolically control over the structures of power. For at least 20 years now the far left authoritarians have had total control over the media, and the large internet platforms, this wind is starting to shift to the other direction and we are seeing the inevitable attempt to tear down the system before "the others" gain control over it

>For at least 20 years now the far left authoritarians have had total control over the media I try not to cuss much on HN, but what the fuck are you talking about? If you think Fox News, one of the organizations with the largest audience is far left, you're out of your mind. If you think MSNBC or CBS were anywhere close to 'far left', you are again, out of your mind. Under no definition are those far left. I think you have a confused idea that a 'open free market' system is building itself, where in reality a bunch of far right fascists are attempting a powergrab.

  >If you think Fox News One slightly right authoritarian news source does not a rule make... I bet you think "republican" means right.... I am a firm believer of the unipary theory of politics Republicans are no better than democrats. One wants to tell you what to do with your life (including your bedroom) but leave you with your money and guns, the other wants to take your money and guns but will allow you to do pretty much any thing you want (including victimize violently and take an property of others it seems) Neither are good, both are very much authoritarian > If you think MSNBC or CBS were anywhere close to 'far left', If we are cussing.... What the fuck are you talking about... MSNBC not far left? What the hell do you consider far left then... MSNBC is the leftist of left.... Hell At this point they are probably more left than the Young Turks Ground News marks them as left as well [1]. NPR is "leans left" [2] and Reuters is "Center" [3] [1] https://ground.news/interest/msnbc https://ground.news/interest/msnbc [2] https://ground.news/interest/npr https://ground.news/interest/npr [3] https://ground.news/interest/reuters_fa2539 https://ground.news/interest/reuters_fa2539 For every Fox news, there are 5++ Left media companies, so yes Fox nows has a large audience because it is consolidated and not spread out between MSNBC, CNN, New Times, Washington Post, and the 100's of other left and left leaning outlets.

    The left-leaning bias is not limited to just "news". It is also very much present in various tech and fashion/style publications - check out Ars Technica and GQ as examples. Both owned by the corporate mouthpiece Condé Nast Inc., by the way.
