Hate to disagree but the Left visits and reads sites that speak to them while the Right does the same. And since the Left controls tge nedia you can view simply by turning on the TV I would say theirs is a distinct advantage.

You are correct. It is very easy for people on the left to stay uninformed. I know people who think they are very well informed because they watch the networks and CNN, read WaPo and NYT and listen to NPR. Of course all of them are saying the same things. We see some of them even if we don’t want to, but they never have to see any opinions other that those on the left. It’s amazing how well we are doing.

” by turning on the TV “

Which 360,000 each month cut cable TV. They are getting less and less viewers.

You’re talking about the echo chamber a lot of people find comforting. They get their news and info from sources that are friendly to their belief system.

That’s fine on the small stuff but big items will push through that fog of lies or half truths eventually. Then those news/info sources lose their credibility. Do this enough times and they are simply known as liars like CNN is now.

Definitely. But they do visit rightist sites to spew hate. I see it often in the postings.

I do not do so to leftist sites, first because I do not favor such action, second because I know I would be effaced and banned.

I agree, they still have a distinct advantage. ABC, CBS & NBC still get around 20 million viewers for the evening news.

Nobody else comes close. Plus, the cable channels, MSN, CNN, etc.

That is why when you cut your cable, you tell the cable company you will be back when they have a la carte programming. The basic bundle has to be destroyed. The LEFT MEDIA CARTEL channels are always in the basic bundle. Its provides them with a guaranteed income.

If you had a la carte programming would you include any of the LEFT MEDIA CARTEL channels? Me, either.

This would open up the market for competition. It is a free market solution to the problem.
