I'm saying the right wing push and it's attractiveness doesn't come from the top down.

Media is a bottom up industry, successful media is the media people want to consume. If right wing media is popular, it's because right wing messages are popular.

Acting like the media are the tastemakers is a convenient way for people to avoid looking in the mirror and doing any kind of self reflection.

The right wing is making a push in Europe because Elon Musk has a trillion dollars, not because the parties in power have done anything wrong. Their ideas are only unpopular because the bad man is lying to them. If it wasn't for all this fake news, everyone would see that I am obviously correct and we'd have 100% support.

X and it's right wing lean isn't the problem. People are attracted to right wing politics because they don't like what they currently have. The problems isn't that an alternative exists, the problem is the people don't like them.
