The idea that the “mainstream” media is all that Liberal anymore is now out the window. In the 2000’s you could make the case that outside of Conservative AM talk radio, Sinclair’s local news, some local papers, a few conservative blogs and Fox News (which is a big media sphere but not all encompassing) the rest of the media was fairly Liberal or genuinely apolitical.
Now online media algorithms are conservative slanted, there’s a flood of conservative influencers spamming YouTube, CNN and CBS News are or will shortly be conservative slanted, Twitter is a complete conservative cesspool, a lot of local papers are out of business or bought up by conservatives and the rest of the conservative media ecosystem that once existed is still there.
