    Free press in the USA? LOL, it becomes more and more difficult every time a US oligarch buys a news outlet.

      Majority Report, Some More News. I suppose the on the other side of the aisle it would be Joe Rogan and Ben Shapiro.

      There is still some of the fourth estate left that hasn’t been bought by oligarchs, it’s just not exactly effective on the leftward side of the overton window.

        Isn’t the Daily Wire funded by oil barons? I wouldn’t put them in the same category as MR which is entirely funded by their viewers and a handful of sponsors.

          It’s possible, I was just trying to think of right wing pundits that aren’t on main stream media. I only know that Ben’s wife is not having a good time, by his own admission. I just had to look up The Daily Wire to figure out which one it was.
