In reply to the discussion: Very interesting data, HUGE decline in right-wing media consumption and traffic. [View all]Captain Zero
(6,871 posts)70. I've noticed in a few local and state reddits that...
...there is an increasing number of contributors complaining about the politicization of those threads. Like, "why is this reddit always talking about politics". Everybody knows that reddit has always been very liberal and maybe these are uneasy lurkers? But the recent uptick in people who "just want to know about restaurants and festivals and other fun and interesting things to do" seems somehow to be organized.
Has anyone else noticed this in their state/local reddits??
It's obvious that they are right of center and want to shut down political thought, although they seldom really espouse or advocate outright for conservative viewpoints.

Sure, but they raised children. Children never born racists. Highest indicator for racism is having racist parents. nt

I was scrolling down to say they were sick of MAGA shit, but then realized your post was probably more accurate.

Actually, every prison I know of blasts fux nooz 24/7. The prisoners are programmed to hate "liberals".

Can't say I dispute this, I have never been inside a prison for any reason. It just seems to me that

I totally agree! It definitely WOULD be in the best interest of a prison NOT to further indoctrinate

Stats might be misleading. Reich wing audiences are volatile now; many say Fox is too liberal

And a science poster or two. Plus enormous number of "my body did something; how're the kids" posts

TS is not a news web site. Same reason you don't see twitter/x or facebook there either. n/t

I think head is misleading. NYT is down just as much as Fox. Wash Post is down far more than either of them.

Seriously? You're going to put NYT and WP in the same category as Newsmax et al?

Look at the chart, the data is there for non-RW sites as well (left and moderate)
