Quote: big tech, big media - are HEAVILY biased towards the left.
No not true. Pretty much the opposite.
Don't be ridiculous.
Twatter, FB, Amazon, CNN, Google, every public radio and TV network - ABC, CBC, NPR, PBS - the Granuiad, The Atlantic, NYT, WaPo, SMH, The Age, AFR, etc, etc, etc - all progressive, openly biased and Democrat supporting. Universities, schools, public services ditto, overwhelmingly.
Not being frothingly, dementedly anti-Trump in every waking moment is NOT right-wing bias, duckwit. It's being sane, not deranged.
Quote:all progressive
Not one on that list is not dramatically opposed to progressive policy. I assume from this that you have no idea what progressive policy is ?
They are most if not all politically right leaning, yes even the more Anti Trump group. Anti Trump is not synonymic for supporting the left being democrat or even not being a republican. The media as a whole are part of the corporate landscape.
The Corporate landscape requires support for right policy implementation and support. This clearly includes the organisations listed that you claim to be politically to the left - Yes CNN CBC etc are profit driven corporations.
They are profit driven companies that pay their top hosts millions. None of them report or support any progressive issues. You will not see reporting about how popular progressive issues are. They do not make a noise about the $15 minimum wage, they do not support or report on the Green new deal, They have little to say about political corruption in donations (they donate) nor Healthcare reform and Pharmaceutical cost control.
You confuse republican right wing corrupt politicians that take $ Millions in donations from the corporate world in exchange for doing their bidding with right wing Democrat politicians who take $ Millions of the same corporate donations in exchange for doing their bidding.
Yes people like Biden making substantial change for the benefit of the American people is not on the table.
Biden even committed to Wall street (in a speech) that there would be no substantial structural change under his government. This was prior to the election as he was taking their donations. Economically any difference between the Republicans and Democrats is at the margin and there is nothing progressive at all coming out of main stream US politics its simply not possible for main stream politicians in the USA to make policy that supports their people in preference to promoting corporate profit even if it is only perceived.
You list Face Book in your list but ignore the fact that Mark Zuckerberg socialises with republican politicians by preference. Somehow FB are crazy left wing when the owner is a mad righty. You list Google but it is known that the search engine algorithm favours right topics and opinion.
The problem with the right is that you don't like the truth so you all make it different. You all need something to cry about and easily find it everywhere.
