The Republican Party and right wing conservatives LOVE to claim that news media–including newspapers, periodicals, radio, television, cable–are all distorted toward liberal and progressive viewpoints!
This is a great farce and lie, total propaganda!
Yes, of course, there are media which are promoting the viewpoint of the left side of the political spectrum!
But the right wing has built a solid, powerful media empire, as well as having “think tanks” that spew forth propaganda on a daily basis!
Some examples, incomplete, of the right wing influence in news media follow, in no special order:
Rush Limbaugh
Glenn Beck
Michael Savage
Sean Hannity
Bill O’Reilly
Mark Levin
Ann Coulter
Michelle Malkin
Laura Ingraham
Michael Reagan
Fox News Channel
Wall Street Journal
Washington Times
New York Post
News Max
National Review
The Weekly Standard
The American Spectator
The American Conservative
The Heritage Foundation
The Drudge Report
The Cato Institute
Family Research Council
Red State
Christian Coalition
The John Birch Society
Freedom Works
Tea Party Express
Tea Party Patriots
Judicial Watch
Conservapedia
Republican National Committee
Here we have 32 leading examples, but there are many more, so the idea that the right wing has little influence or impact is certainly NOT true!
