              1. I keep reading the same story over and over again, how conservatives are underrepresented in media and I count and that doesn't seem to be the case. By what metric? Not op-ed pages, not cable news, definitely not local TV or radio. Not even on The View. Where is this happening?

              I agree, all Americans should be represented in media, but yesterday I read a thread claiming that all big media institutions look down on conservatives and I'm struggling to figure out how that works numerically. Like Fox exists. Rush exists. Many right-of-center websites exist.

            Arguably, the modern social media landscape is more effectively used by conservative media than liberal or media, or even those who claim the exact center, a by percent of population over representation there.

          I mean... Late night comedy is more liberal I guess? But I dunno, is that really the metric that matters? I mean, even there they seem invested in trying to represent the right. SNL had Tr*mp on. It's just that good comedy is at the expense of the powerful. So :/

        I mean, if any viewpoint is significantly underrepresented it's those interested in overturning the status quo. I don't read many full on socialist op eds. Even focused finance publications are essentially promoting the status quo of our economic structure. Where's their balance?

      I just don't understand how this claim gets bandied about so frequently by people who are supposed do reporting. If conservatives are underrepresented, show me the numbers. Especially considering that by popular vote, it sure seems the majority of Americans are left of center.

    Like, we know PoC are underrepresented in the media because we see a lot of numbers on newsroom employment to prove that's the case. I await the report on the right's underrepresentation on America's news.
