If you don't know who that is then why are you talking about right-wing media? I think I know more about your country than most Americans, and that wouldn't be difficult. Half of you don't even know who your President is lol.
I live in the UK.
America is NOT its media dimwit.
You don't know shit about the USA.

Right-wing media? For years I've heard the media being left-wing, the NY Times being a prime example.

That's part of the scam. One man's left-wing media is another's right-wing media. I've lived in the UK and the USA. There is NO left wing media in the USA: none.
In the US its right wing, far right wing and extreme right wing.
What scam? Everyone knows that the editorial page sets the tone of the paper, e.g.

The media have a dialogue with each other in which one side attacks the other for bias. It happens all over the world. But let's face it, all the media in the USA is fundamentally in the service of the rich and the corporations, and in preserving the political status quo.
