      there is a widespread perception among this set (not only this set, but they are numerically most numerous) that liberal media establishments are lying about everything

      I wouldn't characterize it as pushing an agenda (implying willfulness, knowing deceit) but rather embodying a worldview. like the scorpion following his nature

          but the results are similar and I don't think the characterization of the results is too inaccurate. but that's not the point

          the reason the silly conspiracizing, zany alarmism, incredible attention deficiency etc that defines fox/breitbart/etc is so popular is because it fills a void

          libs are right that those outlets are *less true* than their own. the appeal of them is that they *feel* right

          the sense that "the liberal media is constantly lying to push an agenda" (let's call this msmism because it's shorter and looks funny) is more commonly sensed than known

          it's felt as a dissonance between information versus common sense, intuition, lived experience etc. this is probably a common feeling anywhere re: all but the most skillful propaganda

          what outlets like fox/breitbart/infowars and the whole constellation of media/internet personalities in that vein do to varying degrees is *resolve dissonance*

          it just so happens that they resolve it mostly with bullshit, but that's incidental rather than essential. the effect could be achieved by other means

          breitbart sorta does but it's incoherent, and as an outlet it's more akin to like vox or alternet than the grey lady--it's not an institution)

          but that's the sort of thing I *would* expect an organization like nyt to be highly (relative to competitors) reliable on, and a completely separate concern from agenda/worldview issue

          imo it would be entirely possible to build a right-wing media institution/ecosystem that is comparably reliable to nyt on things nyt is reliable on, but which resolves msmism dissonance

          the important thing is to have a coherent ethos that inspires participants in the endeavor, one that incentivizes reliability/integrity and also fulfillment of purpose

          ethos becomes the basis from which one constructs a counternarrative which resolves dissonance without sacrificing grounding in reality

          it's easy for libs to dismiss fox et al on factual grounds because fox is stupid. you know you succeeded when you replicate msmism in them

          I believe that under stress, a person/group's perception splitsninto poles, like what isd "seen" as true and whatvone wants to be true (but knows isn't). And "the agenda" thing you spoke of can be held by news&lies consumers, not just publishers. FOX viewers…are in psychosis.

          I've noticed a lot of media has spaces where it dares not tread. Paxil SSRI meds, many Rx tranquillizing/antianxiety agents, were hyped like mad in TV or streaming commercials. Media didn't touch on ill effects own viewers got subjeved to—and that's shared blind spot; latency.
