6. Tabloids and "gossip" magazines are virulently Right Wing.

I subscribe to Magzter and have access to thousands of magazines (sort of a Netflix to stream magazines), including dozens of "check-out line" magazines, and they are full of Democrat "scandals" (Clintons still seem to be a favorite) and full of praise for "patriots" like Trump and his ilk.

I'm not convinced this content is driven by "market forces", just as I have never been convinced conservative Hate Radio owes its dominance to profitability. I think it is another cheap way to indoctrinate the regular folk in the guise of entertainment. Sadly, these venues are ignored by liberals, who have ceded this fertile ground to the conservative wingnuts.
