Wow! I didn't know the media in Europe or Germany was so biased in one direction. This explains alot! In America the left and right have carved out territory. Most major newspapers, NY Times/LA Times, are very left leaning. The BIG 3 networks ABC,NBC,CBS also lean left. Talk Radio, and Fox news lean right wing. Needless to say, Talk Radio and Fox news are very popular.
