[QUOTE="Frank Underwood, post: 341879, member: 35"] Yes, they definitely appeal to the extreme left. IMO, these are the people who perverted what it means to be on the left with their identity politics and woke mentality. To me, being on the left used to mean being for diplomacy, economic equality, and civil rights for all. Now it revolves around the oppression olympics. Specific groups with personalized agendas are pandered to while cis straight white men are told they're evil. Of course, corporations and the military industrial complex saw an opportunity to appeal to the gullible clowns in the woke mob by creating ads involving "diversity and inclusion." Thus, the woke mob supports them and overlooks the nefarious things they do. Absolutely. The majority of the media is in the neoliberal camp, so they only get outraged when Republicans say or do something ignorant and repulsive. On the other hand, the few Republican news sources do the same thing in reverse when it comes to shilling for their side. Fox even tried turning Obama's tan suit and choice of mustard into a scandal. IMO, they should have gone after him for substantive things like his war mongering or his drone bombing of a 16 year old US citizen in Yemen. And yet some on Fox (namely Tucker Carlson) will occasionally let genuine lefties on to tell the truth about war and corporate America, which CNN and MSNBC never do. The Wall Street Journal ran a few hit pieces on Bernie Sanders and social democracy that I didn't find particularly fair, but pretty much all of mainstream media is guilty of that. Reuters and the AP seem mostly neutral from what I've seen, but I wouldn't be surprised if they occasionally let their biases slip in there too. [/QUOTE]
