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. |
Secret - Pardon me, I thought we were discussing US media. I would agree that other countries have a far more liberal bend than most anything we have in the US. But my point was if Fox represents the Republican side as a number of folks have (probably truthfully) insinuated, the majority of the remaining outlets are bent towards the Democratic ideology.
