Why Did the ‘Liberal Leaning’ Media Turn Even Further to the Left? An Important Article from the Former President of CBS News
When we use the word "media," we invoke the plural form of the word "medium"-and we are usually talking about a means of communication. In our contemporary times, when we say media we usually mean television, broadcast, print, and digital journalism....
In short: tribalism and polarisation.
Same as in the UK. Same as Australia. Same as France. Same as Canada. Same as New Zealand (not quite as consistent, but still applies). Same as most "Western block democracies".
Funny that.
Though I would argue that mainstream "right wing" parties across most of those countries are more "centrist" than anything, these days...
The media will, of course, demonise them as "far right", but that simply doesn't match reality. It's just that, as you say, the "mainstream" has been dragged so far left, that anything slightly further to the right (i.e. what was formerly considered "normal") is now demonised as basically fascist, lol...
