This isn't exactly new. But it's still problematic, especially in today's age. And also much bigger now because of today's age. Mainstream media is owned either by the right-wing, or by the rich who just surrender to the leading power (which in this case is the right wing anyway). My politically literate friends understand this, at least. But when the major media outlets are unreliable, it leaves either unknown or biased sources of information or citizen journalists (who have their own biases). So there's no reliable outlet of information that favors the left, at least any that would be considered trustworthy in the wider media sphere. So again, this isn't news to the politically literate. Those that aren't get perpetually stuck in the right wing infosphere, because that's the only "reliable," known sources, in their perception.
