It points out that in order to survive, news networks must cater to their audiences, and this can involve firing controversial reporters who challenge the status quo. This in turn makes news more agreeable to conservative viewers, rather than providing an accurate view of the world.
• 00:10:00 The video discusses how, in recent years, US media has shifted to the right, with CNN and other outlets becoming more accurate in their reporting. Liberty Media chairman John Malone has praised Fox News for its trajectory of trying to have journalism and opinions mixed together, and this has had a significant effect on mainstreaming the far right. While CNN is positioning itself as the center, it is doing so without acknowledging that the political center has shifted.
• 00:15:00 In this video, the host discusses how the conservative bias of US media is being exacerbated by the increasing ownership of media by corporations. These corporations are allowing right-wing ideologues to be more explicit in their speech, while silencing leftist responses. This is causing the media to mainstream the far right and homogenize public discourse in a conservative direction. The host recommends that viewers be aware of biases when consuming media and that they support alternative sources of information if they want to counteract the conservative trend.
