You have absolutely no idea what "left" is if you think the majority of reporting in America is bent to the left, let alone substantially so. America is one of the most right-wing nations in the western world, and that is reflected in our news reporting. It's no wonder that so many people get socialism and communism - which are two
very different things - confused if centre-left reporting is considered substantially left-wing. Fox News Channel seems slightly less crazy in America due to the fact that the majority of our news outlets are centre-right, so Fox being so far to the right doesn't seem
quite so extreme. Elsewhere in the world, it seems just plain batshit insane - places where MSNBC might be considered centre-right. And I'm not talking about the People's Republic of China, I'm talking about evil socialist nations like Germany.
A little perspective goes a long way, and there is very little reporting in America that can actually be considered left-wing.
