    Anger and outrage sell, and the shows that lean more to the right are the ones that draw most heavily on those two emotions.

    We need more outrage on the left, but it’s harder to come by because it frightens the rich who own all media companies.

      It’s also harder to do on the left as I feel truth is valued much more on that end of the spectrum. While there are plenty of libs who seem content to float through life in a center-left/center-right haze, even they won’t buy the quantity of easily disproven bullshit spewed out by fascist propagandists. It’s hard to compete.

      its harder to be a left wing grifter than a right wing, because with right wing you can just bank on fear of : POC, lgbtq+, anti-leftism, mysogyny,etc and prone to propaganda and misiniformation/disinformation. the left cant really do that with that much HATE,a nd they are pretty fickle audiences for left wing talking heads. case in point tim poole and candace owens couldnt profit off of left wing audiences, becauses its harder to gather attention large enough and not touch on controversial subjects like constant “hate this other group”, thats why switched sides, right wingers LOVE DRAMA.
