I'm an observer, and in many cases, you're correct. But there are moderate to right wing publications and broadcasts out there as well - just not mainstream. It is also a matter (to other observers) if those publications are broadcasts are "right enough." Fox? I never have found Fox all that "right." More moderate than anything - and head strong about a point of view.
It's all a matter of who owns who, really.
ABC is owned by Disney, and in that, I have noticed less "left" news on their L.A. affiliate than on, say, GE-owned NBC.
Disney also makes up for their political stance in other ways, like in movies, though sometimes they slip up.
I think it was Disney-owned Miramax who put out the movie "Priest," which was one of the most politically damning and embarrassing properties the parent studio has ever had its name attached to, even indirectly.
Mul - you should come on down to the studio one day when we have some original Disney cartoon features from the 30s and 40s. You would not believe what those animators subliminally put in the animation. "Fantasia" is chock full of strange political stuff, IIRC.
Even Disneyland can be looked at politically? Did you know at one time it was against Disneyland regulations for the employees to have mustaches? Even if you were dressed up as Mickey, Donald or Goofy, you could not have facial hair or long hair for that matter.
