Apples and Oranges. The disinformation and deceit isn't prevalent at the same frequency with normal media. Fox, AM radio and conservative internet outlets attack all day long. 24/7 365. There is no comparison.
Thus your mind is closed to observing any data that may suggest otherwise. If I find even one story being reported that is not an attack by Fox, AM radio conservatives, it (rightfully) disproves your assertion. Then you'll likely back pedal to "more than leftist media."
Media is mostly moderate, even MSNBC isn't very left, but moreso than CNN. MSNBC has a republican Trump supporter on in the mornings every day. Won't find that on Fox or RW media. Like I said, it's a false equivalence.
There are plenty of Fox News shows that have moderate leftists (on a consistent basis) or steadfast liberals on an occasional basis. The Five and Special Report come to mind as ones that have leftists on a consistent basis.
I'm always curious where you are getting your information from? Are you tuning into conservative media on a daily basis? Everyday, 24/7? Or how are you coming up with your assertions?
From a person who favors the right, we don't have much choice unless we seek out what is understood to be mostly right-wing type reporting. But (at least some of us) are tuned into mainstream media which is clearly leaning left. It's not always so clear in each and every story, but becomes more clear when you realize which stories are buried, and/or not discussed at all, and which ones are deemed headlines enough to prattle on about in 5 to 10 articles that are dealing with similar subject matter.
I find all news agencies will report non-political news, therefore claims like "24/7" are something that would be so preposterous to make, one would wonder if such a person actually is familiar with the news agencies or is just filtering it from what they think (really guess) what the 'other side is up to.'
The purpose of conservative media (main outlets) is to saturate the airwaves with propaganda in the hopes of convincing conservatives to vote republican. That's all it's used for. Fox and Rush are in cahoots with the republican establishment as a media tool to get people to vote republican.
And I see it as necessary counter propaganda to stave off the deceitfulness that permeates newspaper, magazine and most TV news report. Prior to 1990, one would've been hard pressed to find anything resembling news that supports moderately conservative news reporting. Perhaps before 1950, that would've been a different story, but since the age of television, it swung one way (big time - to the left) and in the 1990's, it started to swing the other way.
Depending on who you ask, you'll get a variety of opinions on where the pendulum current rests. Me, I'm convinced it mostly swings to the left, even while a majority of people/voters are either independent or very close to moderate. I actually find among friends and family that most don't care, don't tune in enough to have the type of opinions we are sharing on this thread. It doesn't really register on their radar. Almost all of these people (actually I would say all of them) are conservative in a lot of (very noticeable) ways, even while they may claim to be liberal/vote Dems. It's the social issues primarily that make some people claim to be leftist, and who's to dispute that when the claim is put forth with anywhere near the gusto that
@tytlyf is bringing to the discussion.
The thing that steadfast leftists don't get, and I've found no sure fire way to explain to them, is that all people in U.S. are highly exposed to leftist media. To think anyone is not able to tune into that would be, IMO, not possible. I'm sure there are conservative types that have sworn off subscriptions to and/or tuning into mainstream (leftist) media, but I find many conservative types are tuned into mainstream media, and then seek a conservative spin to understand what the issue is actually about, rather than the constant appeals to emotion from the left to filter what you should be caring for in the reported story.
Many decades ago when I exited college, I thought of myself as mainstream, normal, probably a little left leaning, wasn't sure. When the 1990's brand of conservative media came about, I gradually (over course of two years) realized how utterly brainwashed I was, and a lot of that happened at school (partially cause of 2nd of 2 majors I had selected). Also helped that I was working in newsroom of a major daily (liberal) newspaper. When my eyes opened, I didn't assume the right was unbiased (I knew they were), but realized how biased the news had always been. Biased in how stories are positioned (which is huge, but not usually noticed by most people), biased by amount of staff that have well known political biases, biased in how stories are written, who gets quotes, and then filtered through bias that editors wish to ensure is conveyed in essentially all (political) stories of their news agency.
I'm so glad the counter propaganda news exists, even if now it is establishing its own level of propaganda. In the 1990's, when that pendulum first started swinging, I recall so many on the left (in news agency I was at) laughing off the idea of that ever having a chance to make it to mainstream. Now that it has, and has shown to be (easily) the most popular/favored brand of news among critical thinking Americans, I rejoice.
