I’m not German, so I can’t speak to the German media landscape. I’m American, though, and to portray the media landscape in the US as right dominated is insane. Literally every single prestigious media and cultural institution is dominated by the left in this country. Insane views on the right regularly get deplatformed on facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc, whereas insane left wing views are ignored. Left wing causes have a chorus of support from famous celebrities, musicians, and actors. Right wing views might have some support from random C-list celebrities or country music stars.

Yeah and then do show me please where the "insane left wing" advocates for conspiracy crap such as the "great replacement" or denies the Holocaust. There's a reason the right wings get deplatformed and the left wings don't, simply because the left wings don't devolve to inhumanity.

... and from the President of the United States as well as half of Congress. Yeah, "some support". Bannon literally ended up as consultant in the White House.

What would you call what happened in Stalinist Russia and Maoist China, then?

And I agree that the right has political power. That’s because the population is split pretty evenly between right and left. I wasn’t talking about that, though, I was talking about media and cultural institutions. Popular and, especially, prestigious culture is dominated by the left in the US. For instance, a popular late night host in this country referred to the president’s mouth as “Putin’s cock holster” and still has a job. If someone had said that about Hilary Clinton, they would have been fired the next day.
