That’s completely false. The news is owned by massive corporations pushing far-right agendas. The left can hardly get any coverage, while people who would be considered moderates in Europe are branded as far left radicals in the US news.
It gets repeated constantly by Americans but on social issues Europeans are way more conservative and the ideas your progressives hold considered bat shit insane.
On economics you have a point.
Which US progressive ideas are batshit insane in Europe? Is it immigration and freedom of movement, or universal health insurance, or taxing the rich at a higher rate than the poor, or is it strong environmental regulation? Is it legal abortion, or the right to form a labor union? Those are the main goals of progressives here.
What are things like on Planet Labster? If there's a press conference and Biden only calls on "friendly" reporters that his staff has told him to call on, does your news outlet even report it?
If a BAD reporter asks a question about a Biden voicemail with his son and the press secretary refuses to discuss it, do you even read about it?
The planet where Biden is considered a middle of the road moderate. He’s to the right of the UK Conservative Party on health care, but to the left on immigration.
I hear plenty on Hunter Biden but don’t really care. I’m not sure why anyone cares the president’s son is kind of a screw-up. Most people don’t like to talk about family embarrassments in public.
LOL: "middle of the road moderate." Given a 30% approval rating, it doesn't seem like he's hitting his target.
Get your sons right, at least. Beau is the one who died. Hunter is the one trading on his father's name, getting on the board of Ukrainian gas companies despite lacking any conceivable expertise.
> "middle of the road moderate." Given a 30% approval rating, it doesn't seem like he's hitting his target.
Actually, with a bimodal distribution of political positions, and sharp intolerance for divergent positions, a “middle of the road moderate” position is going to have very poor support.
The Whig Party learned that in the mid-19th Century.
