Washington, DC
As Americans increasingly get their news from online shows and streamers, we found that this expanding media ecosystem is overwhelmingly right-leaning.

Megyn Kelly said she is in wait-and-see, consider both sides mode on Venezuela: "I turned on Fox News yesterday, and I'm sorry, but it was like watching Russian propaganda. There was nothing skeptical. It was all rah-rah cheerleading, yes, let's go." mediamatters.org/megyn-kelly…

This is correct, a movement that worships **Donald Trump** cannot have antibodies against the likes of Candace Owens or Tucker Carlson. mediamatters.org/candace-owe…
Here's the bottom line -- Tucker, Candace, and others lost the plot a long time ago. They've trafficked in bigotry and insane conspiracy theories for a long time. But the rest of the right liked it when it was directed at their enemies. The only difference now -- the *only* difference -- is that Tucker, Candace, etc. have aimed fire at their friends. There has been no sudden devolution. It's the same devolution. Ask the rest of us how honest or accurate or sane these people have been over the last several years. But the Trump right liked it then, because hating mutual enemies is the ticket to entry. Dishonesty against Democrats or Trump-critical Republicans is fine because Flight 93 or something. But dishonesty against Charlie Kirk? Then it's "Have you no decency, sir?" Dishonesty and bigotry and conspiracies are wrong no matter the target.

It seems kind of weird for Kristi Noem's team to criticize Tom Homan for going on Fox News too often when she's made 48 appearances there this year -- until you realize that he's done 115 hits on Fox News and an additional 25 on Fox Business. mediamatters.org/tom-homan/t…

Benny Johnson had perhaps the best 2025 of any streamer on the right, drawing more than 1 billion YouTube views as he hobnobbed with Trump administration power players and GOP elites. His job is to have no principles. Business is booming. mediamatters.org/benny-johns…
