Look - there is no "left" and there is no "right".
Left and Right are silly concepts based on who sat where in France after the Revolution - and that didn't end well.
There are people who believe in progress and the Enlightenment and the Great Western Experiment that started a few hundred years back, and then there are the reactionary, fuedalistic forces aligned against it - that come from both the "Left" and the "Right".
The KKK is anti-Enlightenment, as well as Marx, Hitler, the staff of most college Social Science departments in the last decade who make their students put quotation marks and sneer whenever they use the words "progress" and "scientific basis".
In a perfect world, the media wuold truly be a fourth estate with the Enlightenment goal of seeking tramsparency in the process of politics, government and culture. The media are just corporate shills to the highest bidder - at least at the macro level.
