That the media is liberal is a myth:

NBC's CEO is MAGA
CBS's news boss is MAGA
The NYT is owned by a MAGA billionaire
The LA Times owned by a MAGA billionaire.
The WSJ is owned by Murdoch
WaPo is owned by Besoz

Michael Savage, Bill O’Reilly, Roger Ailes, Glenn Beck, Pat Buchanan, Tucker Carlson, Ann Coulter, Dinesh D’Souza, Ross Douthat, New Gingrich, Jonah Goldberg, Alex Jones, Megyn Kelly, Mark Levin, Michelle Malkin, Michael Savage, Cal Thomas and George Will used to complain about the liberal bias in the media.

Nowadays, it’s Conservatives who own the media.

I worked in TV News for forty years, three different stations and one network. The owners and CEOs were almost all conservatives. Many of the producers, reporters, anchors and crew people were also conservative.

2. It's Jeff Bezos, not "Besoz".

Almost makes me think auberon.bsky.social doesn't know what they're posting about. Or they're a bot.
