I'm a leftist, for the most part, and I don't see these industries as biased to the left. They are certainly biased in a _liberal_ direction, but that really isn't the same as leftism. Only in the united states are the identified with one another and that's mostly because real leftist thought is basically obliterated in the United States. In general the way americans talk about politics is totally nuts. Both political parties in the US are anti-leftist (for the most part) but The Republicans take advantage of a general suspicion against socialism in the US when they call the Democrats a leftist party. Democrats have made it perfectly clear for about 25 years that they have no interest in socialism. The most charitable thing you could say about them is they are the party which wants to privatize things a little bit less quickly.
