Politics of the Media
Right-wing media: breitbart, various right wing blogs and podcasts. Sometimes crossover to conservative media - particularly recently Libertarian media: various blogs and podcasts, maybe some radio. Conservative Media: Fox News, Sinclair broadcasting, various newspapers and magazines, AM radio, national review, more high profile podcasts and blogs than the right. Centrist media (tend to be more partisan towards the Democrats, but will support moderate Democrats or moderate Republicans and those kinds of arguments): the network news, NY Times, PBS/NPR News, the majority of newspapers Liberal Media: MSNBC, various newspapers and magazines, Huffington Post, Salon, some news-magazines on PBS/NPR, high profile podcasts and blogs. Progressive media: podcasts and blogs, the Nation and Mother Jones, Vox, sometimes Rolling Stone, Democracy Now, Young Turks. The Leftist media: Jacobin and... https://www.teenvogue.com/story/who-is-karl-marx
Vox should be in progressive. National Review in conservative.
Pretty bad puff piece by teen vogue and I'm a marxist. 99% of what Marx wrote was critiques of capitalism and how the economy works. He (along with Ricardo and Smith) are the founders of modern economics. To boil his thoughts down to proletariat vs bourgeoisie and dialectical materialism just shows that they haven't read Das Kapital. This was a good chance to actually present the ideas of a much maligned historical figure and they ended up teaching the kids next to nothing.
Yeah, +1 I was making a bit of a joke at the expense of people who call the mainstream commercial media, the “left-wing media”. I don’t actually think that TeenVogue is the 21st century radical tribune of the people :)
How often do you read NY Times? I'd put it solidly in the Liberal category, possibly even the Progressive one at times.
Honestly the one I was undecided about was PBS/NPR. Both of those are tricky because they’re usually social liberals on domestic policy but pro-pentagon on international policy and big boosters of the Greenspan-era economic policies. Op-Eds can also skew the perception. Progressives and the left have long complained about The NY Times and they were Bush-loving hawks during the first years of the Iraq war so I put them in the center, but I’d agree that they are probably more partisan to Democrats right now.
If the New York Times is liberal then Bloomberg is a bastion of progressivism lmao
