If you don't thing the right-wing dominates our politics, think about how little you hear about wage theft -- the largest single form of theft in America -- and how much you hear about two trans kids in Texas who'd like to play a sport.
@lolgop Yes, but the media also has a bias towards controversy and newness. There’s nothing controversial or new to report about wage theft - it’s a “dog bites man” story - so it doesn’t get reported.
@BruceHalperin @lolgop Correct - yellow journalism, click-bait headlines, etc are common and for me, a reason to block or boycott journalists and media sources. It takes some personal research but, you can find legit sources, not owned by the right wing, not engaging in click-baiting, not prompting via controversy, adequately fact checking, and not engaging in yellow journalism. Find their RSS feeds and add them as contacts in Friendica is my goto.
