It's a profitable bandwagon. They won't all survive forever, but there are plenty of newspapers that have similar politics to each other too. What's your point?

>>8334701
Those newspapers are local and/or have real reporting.

These things are essentially blogs, news aggregators and pearl-clutching about Donald Trump

Plus journalism's influence is fading.

More importantly, is there a single character that could even possibly ever TOUCH Madara Uchiha?

>>8334712
anyone not from anime because their eyes aren't slanted rofl
anime is shit kiddo and their power levels are hyperbolic because japs have small dicks

>>8334699
They're not really leftist tier, more like PC bullshit pop culture bazinga meme politic appeal to emotion tier. Believe it or not, outside of America (may God bless her) there are actual leftist political parties with a different ideology than the feel good soup anti intellectual trump supporters complain against.

epic, my fellow redditor

Identity.

Opinions about politics are fashion accessories. Democracy has been entirely subsumed by capitalism. The human does not exist except through consumption.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately, it seems to me that this is just our modern version of the "yellow journalism" that plagued the 20th century. Basically it's just a bunch of people who were just a fraction more intelligent than other people that latch on to one mode of thinking and use that thinking as a basis for everything they do. Since fabricating problems and reporting on things that don't matter are not that hard to do, they feel like they're good at something for once and have monetized it. It's a dying business model though, I'm slightly afraid of what the next step for this kind of thing is.

>>8334699

they're just scamming people with their adsense or whatever the modern equivalent is, it'll go away once the bottom drops off

Takes a guess.

New media is designed to cater to its audience because maintaining a loyal base is really the only way to survive in an overcrowded environment. Most people who are interested in easy-to-consume, pop culture-conscious internet news that's delivered in an irreverent tone are going to be young internet-savy liberals and progressives. The BuzzFeed audience has a much bigger presence online than the Breitbart audience, and thus has more clout with internet blogging firms who imitate the formula.

If you want attention from both viewers and sponsors, progressivism (which naturally supports capitalism) is the political ideology to support. You'll notice that old media vanguards like The New York Times and The Washington Post, despite historically having a bias to the left, are becoming increasingly blatant in their support for progressivism as they know that progressives are the vast majority of people who read and support them.

The existence of Vox et al will continue as long as there continues to be an audience to pander to.

>>8334716
What about anime that don't have power levels, like Legend of the Galactic Heroes?

>>8336080

Even without identity politics, (leftists) politics would still be shit.

>>8336176
it does have power levels

>>8336168
I guess I agree with this, but you make it sound very conspiratorial.

Communication is a two way street. The speaker wants to express himself, but also wants to be heard. They want readers, and so they have to know what readers want. This shouldn't be surprising.

What is surprising is when people create things for nobody. There was a John Oliver segment where he called out a local city council meeting, which was only attended by the two individuals conducting the meeting. They continued the charade of doing the pledge of alliegence, asking for comments from audience of zero, etc. Even the youtube video had zero views. I shitty bit of political theater that no one consumed.

>>8334699

its weird that only people who no absolutely nothing about anything remotely political say 'leftist'.

>>8334709
"real" or not, the industry will sustain itself as long as it appeals to the target demographic. Expect media sites to be the newspapers of the new generation

>>8334699
The problem is you're an infantile Marxist friend if you're still thinking simply in terms of profitability of corporations as being in anyway relevant under financial capitalism. Business in America is about capitalization upon reputation and other intangible assets not profit generation. The predatory methods they use to capture income is the concurrence of business strategy.

>>8334699
They have the same owners (different legal entities of course) and the articles seem the same because they literally are just slightly reworded.

>“What if we like, made a new media website for millennials that had a left-wing bias??”

Well, you just answered your own question

>millennials
>left-wing

Younger people are overwhelmingly more left wing than older people

Besides, half the sites you mentioned are focused on clickbait, not left-wing politics. The only thing Gawker has ever cared about is getting people to click on their links

The only people who go into journalism are rich WASPs and Jews who don't need the money

Vox is fucking hilariously on the payroll. Every single thing they do is "Let's start the article with slacktivist snark, and then segue into 'vote democrats' to get the Tumblr retard audience!"

>>8339034

The worst part isn't the viewpoints so much as how insidiously patronizing they are. It's one thing if you're right-wing looking at this stuff, but seeing what is basically the Nick Jr. editorial wing is painful when your actual views aren't that far off.

The mainstream left long had an image problem as being too soft and touchy-feely, in that regard none of this is new. It's hit a goddamn peak, though, so what the hell happened?
