The media industry has been and for a large part still is beholden to "progressives" and look where that has brought us. The term "media consumption" already points at the problem, this terminology befits the tripe and pabulum which these "media channels" funnel towards the media consumption feed lots, i.e. "consumers". Canned "entertainment" made to pacify and numb the "consumers", "news" channels which make Pravda and Izvestia look like also-runs. It is not a "progressives" vs. "conservatives" problem but a "media industry" one. Fortunately the technology needed to create the product pushed by the "media industry" has become so ubiquitous and cheap that it is now possible for outsiders to create something with the needed production quality to compete with the industry while easily beating it on other metrics like storyline and relevance.
