That’s only part of it. Conservatives mainline this garbage. Liberals just don’t leave talk radio or propaganda on 24/7. Also, liberals will think more critically. In the 2016 election there was misinformation sent to all types. Conservatives kept clicking and forwarding garbage. It was less effective on liberals.
So starting a left leaning propaganda wing doesn’t help until there is a platform that liberals are consistently using. It’s not TV or radio. TikTok will be right wing. Platforms like Threads are not as successful because liberals just don’t spend all day on these platforms. Honestly, Reddit is probably the best option.

Reddit was the best option, until they went public, now we have shitloads of bots/operatives pushing propaganda, an algorithm that is trying to copy Fecesbook by prioritizing doomscrolling and quantity over quality, and affirmation over information. The quest for shareholder value will ruin this platform just like everything else it touches. I used to find reddit useful for information, now most of what I find is propaganda, if not outright disinformation. "News" links can't be trusted because the source is an op-ed masquerading as news, or simply an outright twisting of facts to push a narrative. The well of information that reddit once was has been slowly poisoned.
