Again, you're making a false equivalency. The right has FOX, while the left dominates traditional media CNN, MSNBC, NPR, NBC, CBS, most major newspapers, hollywood, and universities. FOX is one outlet. The rest of the media landscape is overwhelmingly left leaning. And despite the constant attacks, FOX at least attempts to bring in dissenting voices and debate. That’s more than I can say for most of the "mainstream" media. Sure, outrage sells no one’s denying that but it's crazy to say it's remotely equal. The left has a cultural monopoly, it's changing tho. Their narratives are reinforced in schools, movies, corporate boardrooms, and even government memos. FOX for the most part isn't being projected into HR policy or your kid’s classroom. PC culture and social justice are about selective outrage and censorship. It doesn’t push equality, it demands special treatment, enforced through public shaming, speech codes, and double standards.

People are told to shut up and take it if they’re white, male, or straight. That’s not justice. That’s ideological submission. If equality is the actual goal, then the past doesn’t justify new prejudice.Yes, America had slavery and guess what, so did every civilization in history. There were black slave owners in the U.S. too. No one ever seems to mention that. Globally, white people have faced genocide, colonization, and mass murder just like every other group. Suffering isn’t exclusive to one race. Media outlets have no problem labeling white suspects as racially motivated, even with no evidence, while downplaying the race of non-white offenders. If fairness was the goal, that wouldn't happen. I’m not ‘"mad" or "taking the bait" I’m pointing out reality. Recognizing bias isn’t anger; it’s awareness.

That gets told to every offended group at some point, by someone to, "Shut up/Get over it/Deal/You lost" because(insert excuse/counter argument and justification). There aint a whole lot you can do about that. You just have to ignore those people and not engage. Anyone who does that is just making noise and can't produce an intelligent argument. Not worth your time.

Remember this saying, "When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression." When someone is attempting to level a playing field, and bring balance that means redistributing the unfair advantage held by a side. Naturally some on that side will percieve that as an attack on them and unfair.

Its tricky how you handle that and keep everyone happy(not possible). It really is a balancing act. Do you put the short guy and tall guy both on even ground(equality)? Do you put the short guy on a taller ladder and tall guy on a shorter ladder, so they both have the same reach(equity)? Not defending it, just explaining how it works and good intentions with the goal of fairness go awry.

The right has far more than just fox news. As for Hollywood being woke. Per rumors its full of Gays and Jews. Is there any surprise Hollywood would have a liberal bias? Joking joking. I couldn't pass that up. Which side has the most dominant media is irrelevant because the right is winning. And who holds the dominant view will swing back in forth. Whatever side you're on, it's easy to get really far down a rabbit hole and disillusioned.

The way privilege is defined by many on the left is warped they often assign it based primarily on race rather than socioeconomics or how people actually live. That’s not an honest attempt at leveling the playing field, it’s more about policing perceived traits and blaming entire groups instead of targeting real inequality. As for “keeping everyone happy,” that’s never been my goal. I’d rather just call it how I see it. Speaking as a short guy myself, you figure out ways to adapt and overcome instead of expecting someone to handicap the tall guy on your behalf. That’s real equality, equal opportunity, not forced outcomes. Regarding the chart, it includes non traditional media like internet personalities. I’ve been specifically pointing to traditional media, and in that space, the overwhelming bias skews left.

I blame the feminist and LGBTQ to an extent. It's not just race, its sex. If you're a straight male, these two groups hate you to the core. You're automatically bad, the problem with society, and reaping unearned privileges because you're born with a dick and like the opposite sex. And "toxic masculinity" which women also perpetrate by the way, but love to lob it at men. Not all feminist and gays obviously, but the ones that do, bring the left bad press. I think a lot of the policing traits and blaming groups are bored feminist rebels without a cause. I recently saw a clip from a podcast of a woman defending her identity as a dog and not a human. I couldn't tell if it was an act or real and I don't want to believe it. But if it is real, I said she is why 2/3rds of the country hate the left now and we can't have nice things.

I know how to fix this problem. Stop supporting all these groups that keep bashing men and telling them how terrible they are. Why doesn't Newsuck tell people this?

Allsides news is a little sketchy. They post articles from other news outlets, but they don't debunk anything. I read a few of their articles, and they appear to take shots at people. For example, they say stuff like "Some people state Trump is trying to take away peoples 1st amendment rights." That's it. No other explanation on what that means or how he is doing it.

fun
