these mostly-vacuous statements apply at least as well to the middling lib pundits you view as more dangerous than the right.

ultimately everyone on cable TV news is there bc they sell ads and stay non-threatening to the corporate owners. the bland centrists triangulate to maximize their audience, they are the default, empty suits, the opposite of dangerous. they aren't going anywhere, but they will move where the center moves. moving the center is what right-wing fringe pundits do, and since a prominent socialist on corporate media would (almost by definition) have to be a grifter, i don't see how you challenge them in this space other than tactics that make them unprofitable through ad boycott campaigns and reduced cable subscriber fees.

This almost completely misses the point of corporate controlled media which isn't exclusively or even primarily about selling ads and making money. It's about controlling the bounds of acceptable discourse. They don't move to the center, they seek to define the center.

Fox wasn't started to make money, it was explicitly a political project. Adelson loses money on the paper he bought, but that's not the point. It's just like most corporate philanthropy, an attempt to use money to propagate ideology. And if you think its only the right that does this you are extremely mistaken. MSNBC is as much an ideological product as Fox.

in of those groups that formed after ie collapsed put up some flyers last year and were taken down quickly. The local news media did a story on it, by printing a photo of said flyers this giving it a much broader audience than it had before.
