But billionaires on the right have invested far more heavily in media in the last two decades than their counterparts on the left—whose ad-supported, VC-funded operations started to fizzle out once social media and Google starting eating up the revenue pie.
You know what? This literally never occurred to me, but it’s so obvious: right wing media doesn’t have paywalls. That alone probably explains its popularity and therefore influence to some degree.
Because the far right buy media for the propaganda opportunities, the center right (what these people think of as the communist left) buy it in order to squeeze some money out of a dying industry.

Hope this is ok to post here:
Kyle Whitmire is one of the few journalists in Alabama doing the good work. He is leaving the state for DC. His op-ed says it’s for all the good reasons, that he’ll continue to report for AL.com, but this still seems … ominous.

From BlueSky: The Onion, with the help of the Sandy Hook families, has purchased InfoWars.
I didn’t know how to feel about it at first, but if the Sandy Hook families are on board with it, that makes it funnier.
