    General “centrist” unbiased news coverage tends not to affirm right-wing beliefs so they have to retreat into fringe independent media.

    “Centrist” media tends to affirm things like the results of good science and vague inclusion, so liberals are happy to listen to it. It’s only self-described socialists or other “far left” euphemisms that recognize the deference to capitalism as problematic.

      Ehhh, don’t really agree; centrist news has historically ceded a lot to right wing framing and affirmation, while being far from unbiased. If anything, they have license to overtly right wing media to go even further.
