The largest television station operator in the United States by number of stations, and largest by total coverage IS CONSERVATIVE.
There really is a well-financed right-wing news infrastructure. Fox News is just the tip of the iceberg. The conservative Sinclair Media Group has bought up hundreds of network affiliates across the country and requires them to carry “must-run” segments during local news broadcasts that push a conservative agenda. In addition, articles published on Breitbart website circulated widely on cable news and in other formats. The Sinclair Broadcast Group’s biased programming is available in 72 percent of U.S. households. That’s bad news for local media. Sinclair is raising concerns among media watchers because of its practice of combining news with partisan political opinion.
Most media outlets are owned by a handful of conservative corporations and individuals, and funded by usually economically conservative advertisers…This pro-corporate conservative bias of the media is well-documented and shows itself in consistent under-reporting or ignoring of any information that would lead people to question the fundamental status quo.
F.A.I.R (Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting) has documented that conservative or right-leaning think tanks received more than 50 percent of media citations during a Democratic presidential administration in 1998 and 1999, while left-wing and progressive think tanks overall received less than 13 percent.
Most of the articles about crony capitalism are authored by conservatives and libertarians pinning the concept and practice on liberals and socialists. They say it is the same thing as socialism. With socialism the masses benefit. But when practiced by conservatives and libertarians it is called fascism and only the 1% benefit. Pick your poison.

Political opinions expressed on talk radio are approaching the level of uniformity that would normally be achieved only in a totalitarian society…, Monks writes. Yet the almost complete right-wing Republican domination of political talk radio in this country has been accomplished without guns or gulags.
