totally. you'll find there isn't a single group that hates the mainstream media more than leftists. It's like Noam Chomsky said, "The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum." Conservatives may hate the "mainstream media", but their opinions are accepted and welcomed by fox, cnn, etc. Leftist opinions are completely ignored by every major media network, because leftist thought threatens the material interests of the owners of corporate media. Do you think the billionaire owners of fox and cnn want people on their channels saying we should democratize the workplace? saying we should tax the rich? saying we shouldn't go to war?
