So all the media that Trump calls "Fake news" is not-left wing?

> left-wing ideologies are meant to create diffuse wealth and power, which means there's no incentive for individuals to create such propaganda machines.

Maybe this was true at some point.

But I think today the left ideologies are used largely as a front, by the people who just want to "augment concentrated wealth and power". I think these are the truly malicious people, because they hide behind the a large mass of gullible population.

They use these shallow "left" idelology to mobilize the masses, and they are shallow exactly because it have to be relatable to the least common denominator. So no nuance, no balanced perspectives, no risk/benefit consideration. Anything that sounds nice on the surface will do (even when it is truly evil after a moments consideration)...

So that is why I think you are wrong..

You speak as if Stalinism and the Great Leap Forward are anywhere near the Overton window for mainstream left media discourse.

When in reality it's too busy trying to outdo itself on how hard it is willing to sanewash and give an equal platform to truly insane far-right-authoritarian bullshit.

Your response is _almost_ funny.

I asserted that there is very little left-wing media today, because it is far more profitable to make media intended to enrich specific individuals.

And your counter-argument was that... there is very little left-wing media today, because it has been hijacked by specific individuals who want to be enriched.

Cool.

Side note: your decision to claim that trump attacking something means it is left-wing shows both that you are completely detached from any sort of reality, and that you lack even the tiniest hint of thought.

Ok so let me get this straight. According to you, the news channels that tries to make Trump administration and republicans look bad, is actually "right wing"?

[donkyrf]

Yes.

Obviously.
