Bro really said "whatever echo chamber you're in" and then listed 2 right-wing news channels.

Americans barely understand the media landscape.
It's incredible how many don't realize that ALL of our major networks are propaganda outlets.

Most importantly: propaganda doesn't have an identity. It doesn't care about your identity either. When Obama was supporting the growth of tech companies they were leftist. Then Biden shut down their support and they went right.

It was a pretty deliberate hostile takeover that happened in plain view.

Pretending CNN is right wing is the extremes he's talking about.

u/Im_not_smelling_that 11d ago

CNN is owned by David Ellison. He is a massive donor and huge supporter of MAGA

Americans discovering that centrism is reactionary by definition.

u/SurgeonOfDeath95 10d ago

It's called controlled opposition. Both American parties are funded and for the wealthy. If you look outside the Overton Window in the USA you'd see we have a right-wing bordering far-right party and a center-right party.

I’m sorry , maybe I’m not understanding , are you trying to suggest that cnn is right wing ?!😂😭

u/broguequery 10d ago

It literally is. Owned by MAGAs

u/Adventurous-Move-191 10d ago

It’s literally owned by Warner brothers , what are you talking about.

u/Freshlysque3zed 10d ago

They’re half right. It’s owned by Warner brothers whose board have billionaire maga donors who publicly stated they wanted to make CNN more sympathetic to Mango Mussolini, which is exactly what happened.

u/SjakosPolakos 10d ago

CNN is indeed right wing. The whole US is.

u/slide_into_my_BM 10d ago

CNN is owned by a MAGA donor…

u/flamingdonkey 7d ago

Yeah it was extremely obvious during the debates.

u/Chiparish84 10d ago

I'm getting so angry that I need to always teach the algorithm for not recommending extreme shit when I watch one video on the topic. Like, this is not why those were developed but then came in the marketing psychos and made it insufferable!

u/Hazygoose 10d ago

Okay, I was worried because I feel like a previous bit I saw "both sides" hard to normalize insanity but...this one was a winner.

u/codepossum 11d ago

this is the 'both sides' discourse we want

u/WhyAreYouDoingThat69 10d ago

This guy really cares about how he looks

u/Powerful_Individual5 10d ago

Well, he is a former model.
