Well the far right part of the maga crowd are literally some of the dumbest people on this planet, they are rascist nazi scum dictated to by their animalistic desires fueled by Trump lies and their incest roots.
It's very sad the hilly billy crowd of America gets to vote tbh, all they do is collect welfare, get drunk and smoke meth in their trailer park communities. Once it hits them they were deceived terrorist attacks, mass shootings and road rage is coming, something these rascists have engaged in many times historically.

bunch of muppets

It’s because of the right wing media ecosystem. For a while it was a slow descent from news into entertainment or often disinformation and in the last ~decade it’s just exploded. They slowly stopped presenting news with a partisan tilt in favor of just outright ignoring news worthy things now in favor or red meat.

I think this really came to a head after the 2020 election and J6th. Some of the organizations like Fox News tried to actually push back against their viewership that the election wasn’t stolen, and that j6th was a horrific event and they hemorrhaged viewers. They quickly realized if they valued their $$$ they simply couldn’t be honest anymore, even in smaller sample sizes. They had helped create a monster that couldn’t be contained anymore.

How do you rationalize this belief when its conflicting with the mainstream media being overwhelmingly liberally biased to an extreme, with big tech openly working to censor conservatives and stories that embarrass democrats, and the "right wing ecosystem" consisting mostly of grassroots channels of independent voices being supported by large number of viewers? The institutional powers attempt to influence the beliefs of the public through disinformation and partisan tilt and outright ignoring news worthy things (and NPR put out a public statement saying exactly that about Hunter Biden's laptop). The viewing public seeks political commentary that doesn't come from organizations, but instead from outside voices they find credible and reasonable. No amount of money changing hands or being thrown at people to influence them is actually changing minds, and the public has been torpedoing the dinosaur media outlets that are hostile to the mainstream beliefs of society. Hell just a couple days ago Polygon became the latest shill outlet to get dismantled.

Every Asmongold video on politics gets about a million views, more than the total daytime viewership of MSNBC. He's probably combining for as many views as the totality of Fox News, and that's just one retard midget doing the same shtick of watching videos and rolling his eyes. The corporate media on both left and right aren't competing, they're dying.

911, yeah I'd like to report a murder

I’m not rationalizing anything. There is undeniably some biased in many media forms. But it’s very asymmetric. This isn’t a both sides are equivalent thing. We no longer get the same general stories with varying degrees of partisan spin. We’re literally not even seeing the same general stories.

I frequently check Fox News just to see what information is being presented. One of the more innocuous things that still sticks in my mind was when the island of Maui was seeing huge fires. I think it should have just been viewed as news worthy. No spin, just news worthy. And understandably it was the lead story nearly everywhere…. But not Fox. The entire day it was buried and you had to scroll and scroll and scroll to find it. I’m not sure if it was because Hawaii is overwhelmingly democratic or Fox was scared about climate change narratives. But they buried the lead. The lead story on Fox that entire day… random transgender man nobody has ever heard of on the street makes a provocative statement.

Its absolutely asymmetric but not in the way you think. The institutionalized dinosaur media is overwhelmingly biased in favor of the left with overt partisan spin, and the populist commentary eco system favors the right because that's what people support.
Again, this is the legacy media that brought us gems like;

You are correct, except for the left wing being as bad as well and being powered by billionaires behind the steering wheel. As you know billionaires aren't our friends neither the right nor the left kind. The 80% in-between needs to rise up and curb both extremes to where they belong.
Their positions are presented as without alternatives like for example universal healthcare + mass immigration or less immigration + police state. You can have regulated immigration while not being a police state but that option isn't presented. You can guess why
Again, billionaires aren't our friends.
